The verdict

The Metalbone HRD+ 2026 Ale Galán edition is a power-first diamond that hits like a hammer. The EVA core delivers explosive, satisfying pop on smashes and aggressive volleys, but the smooth surface offers less spin control than you might expect at this level. Comfort is a genuine concern — prolonged sessions may punish your arm, especially off-center hits. Best suited for intermediates who want attacking firepower and can accept the trade-offs.

What we loved
Exceptional power output (91) for an intermediate-tier racket
Diamond shape maximizes sweet spot height for overhead finishing
EVA core gives firm, punchy feedback on clean strikes
Galán's signature build inspires confidence in aggressive play
Worth knowing
Low comfort score (58) — arm fatigue and vibration are real risks
Control (78) lags behind its power, punishing imprecise technique
Not a forgiving racket — off-center hits feel harsh and lose direction
