Adidas Adipower Multiweight 3.3 Review (2026)

Long before the Metalbone became Adidas's flagship, the Adipower was the racket serious padel players pointed to when someone asked what Adidas could do. The line earned that reputation through steady, methodical refinements. In 2023, it was refounded around something genuinely different: Multiweight technology, a system of adjustable weight ports that lets players shift the balance of their frame toward the head for more finishing pace through the glass or toward the handle for greater feel during the construction of points. That first Multiweight scored PRR 86 and set the template for everything that followed.

The modern family has since split into two branches. The Multiweight is the attacking option, shaped to help players load up genuine finishing pace and put away overheads. The Multiweight CTRL is the one most players end up reaching for: a rounder, more forgiving frame fronted by Álex Ruiz, built for those who want to stay composed under pressure and work the ball systematically before going for the finish. The CTRL 3.3 and CTRL 3.4 both score PRR 88 with us. The Álex Ruiz Pro EDT editions of each push to PRR 89, adding carbon detailing without changing what the CTRL platform actually does well.

The 2026 Adipower Legend is the best racket this line has produced. Inspired by Seba Nerone, it reaches PRR 90 in our tests. It sits between the two branches in character, combining enough attacking instinct to finish points overhead with the kind of back-court control that keeps attacking players in rallies they might otherwise rush. Carbon trims round out the range below the CTRL line, giving newer players a point of entry at lower prices without asking them to pay for the full Multiweight system.
