Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 Padel Racket — Power Has a Name. It’s Metalbone.
There are rackets built for comfort. There are rackets built for control. And then there’s the Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 — built for one thing above everything else: finishing points.
This is Ale Galán’s signature racket. A limited edition drop from Adidas’s 2026 Pro EDT collection, designed around the playing philosophy of one of the most aggressive and technically complete players in professional padel. If your game is built around taking the net, punishing short balls, and ending rallies with authority — this racket was made with you in mind.
It is not a beginner’s racket. It is not a comfort-first racket. It is a technical power weapon for advanced players who have the technique, timing, and physicality to get the best out of it — and when they do, few rackets on the market reward them as generously.
Diamond Shape — Power From the First Swing
The diamond head shape places the sweet spot high up in the face of the racket — exactly where you need it for smashes, bandejas, viboras, and attacking volleys above shoulder height. When you load up on a smash with a diamond-shaped racket, you’re not fighting the physics — you’re working with them.
Combined with the head-heavy balance, the Metalbone Pro EDT generates swing weight that accelerates through the ball and delivers real pace. Opponents feel the difference. The ball gets to them faster, with more depth, with less time to reset.
Carbon Aluminized 16K — The Surface That Hits Back
The face of the Metalbone Pro EDT is built from Carbon Aluminized 16K — a construction that weaves aluminium into the carbon fibre to create a harder, stiffer, more explosive hitting surface than standard carbon. The result is a racket that feels alive on contact — not dampened, not muted, but genuinely responsive. Every ball that comes off this face has intent behind it.
For hard-hitting players who want to feel exactly what’s happening on each shot, this surface delivers that feedback clearly and confidently.
EVA Soft Performance Core — Power Without Destroying Your Arm
Here’s where the Metalbone Pro EDT separates itself from pure power rackets that sacrifice everything for stiffness. The core is made from low-density EVA Soft Performance rubber — a material that gives the racket a noticeably more comfortable feel than you’d expect from a diamond frame at this level.
The power here isn’t coming from a rock-hard core — it’s coming from the balance, the swing weight, and the frame construction. That means the core can afford to be softer and more forgiving, absorbing impact before it travels to your wrist and elbow. For a power racket, the arm comfort is genuinely impressive.
Weight and Balance System — Tune It to Your Game
One of the standout features of this racket is something you won’t find on most padel rackets at any price: a fully adjustable Weight and Balance System. Each racket comes with removable plates, washers, and screws that allow you to modify the total weight of the racket by up to 11.2 grams — and shift the balance point depending on where you place them.
Add weight to the top of the frame and you increase swing weight for more explosive smashes. Move it closer to the grip and you lower the balance for more control and manoeuvrability. Remove the weights entirely and you have a lighter, faster-handling racket. An Allen key is included with the racket so you can make these adjustments yourself before a session or between matches.
This level of customisation is rare and genuinely useful — it means the racket can adapt to how you play on a given day, not the other way around.
Power Groove — Rigidity Where It Counts
A Power Groove rail runs along the profile of the frame, reinforcing the structure in the upper section of the racket where the biggest impacts happen. This increases rigidity precisely where you need it — on smashes and overhead volleys — making the frame more efficient at transferring your swing energy into the ball rather than absorbing it.
Low Poly Structure and Octagonal Frame
The frame of the Metalbone Pro EDT uses a polyhedral Low Poly design and an octagonal carbon tube structure — eight edges instead of four — that dramatically stiffens the frame compared to a standard round-section frame. This is the part of the Metalbone construction that makes aggressive players feel like the racket is genuinely working with their power, not just holding together under it.
Power Extra Grip — More Leverage, More Reach
The handle on this racket is longer than a standard padel grip. That extra length shifts more mass towards the head and gives you greater leverage on your swing — particularly useful for generating power on smashes and for players coming from a tennis background who are used to a longer handle feel.
Spin Blade Decal and Smart Holes Curve
The textured Spin Blade surface and the deliberate Smart Holes Curve hole pattern work together to help you generate spin on every shot — slices, topspin lobs, cutting volleys. The surface grips the ball and the hole arrangement creates airflow conditions that help you brush and shape the ball more effectively.
