Review Summary
The Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.1 (2022) is a round-shaped padel racket. Its round profile keeps the balance lower and the sweet spot central, making it one of the more forgiving, control-oriented options for players who prioritise placement.
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 2 T0 1 Faces face, a EVA Soft Performance Core core, Aluminized Carbon 2 T0 1 Frame / Aluminized Carbon 2 T0 1 Faces construction. That makes it a strong fit for players who value placement, defence and a comfortable feel over outright power.
