The Drive 3.4 is adidas's accessible take on the diamond shape - it wears the power-shape look but the EVA Soft Performance core and fibreglass face are tuned deliberately soft, trading the diamond's usual harshness for something a beginner can actually control. At 360-375g it has real presence in hand without being unwieldy, and the fibreglass face keeps the strike forgiving on off-centre contact. It won't hit like a true power diamond, but that's the point - this is meant to ease a newer player into the shape rather than punish them for it.

Five direct comparisons — the closest frames in its own line, the rivals it competes with, and this season's stand-out.
A diamond shape, deliberately softened for beginners
adidas gives newer players the diamond look without the diamond bite here - a soft core and fibreglass face keep the strike forgiving rather than punishing. It's a sensible way to grow into the shape before stepping up to a firmer, more committed power frame. We wouldn't recommend it to anyone already generating real racket-head speed, but as an accessible first diamond, it does the job.
