Our verdict
The Metalbone Team Light 3.4 pushes the budget speed recipe to 340 g, among the lightest credible frames sold: maneuverability 80, comfort 76, tolerance 77, control 74, the full kindness card, with power 70 as the transparent price. Value 77 is fair. At this weight the frame suits the specific constituencies exactly: genuine beginners, juniors stepping up, players managing shoulders or elbows, and net specialists who count grams. The beginner label fits this edition honestly. For everyone in those groups, one of the most accessible serious frames adidas makes; for everyone else, too little racket.

This pushes the budget speed recipe to a genuinely rare, accessible lightness: maneuverability is outstanding, and the full kindness card runs right through comfort and tolerance — an honest beginner frame that actually fits its own label, unlike some in the range. Power offers no finishing help, a transparent trade for all that ease. Against heavier incoming pace the very light build wobbles, and improving hitters will outgrow it fast as their swing develops.
