Review Summary
The Adidas Metalbone 3.4 HRD+ (2025) is a diamond-shaped padel racket with a high balance. Its head-heavy diamond profile pushes the weight up top, channelling energy into powerful attacking shots at the cost of a smaller, higher sweet spot.
Expert review scores for this racket are still being aggregated and will appear here once published. In the meantime, its specifications give a clear picture of the profile it is built for.
Under the hood it pairs a Aluminized Carbon 16K face, a EVA High Memory core, Carbon fiber / Aluminized Carbon 16K construction. At its listed weight with a high balance, it should feel substantial and stable, rewarding a full, committed swing. That makes it best suited to intermediate and advanced players who already generate their own control and want a weapon for finishing points.
