Adidas Adipower Legend

Ignore the Adipower name's attacking history: the Legend is a control instrument. Control 92 is among the highest we have scored, and the EVA Soft Performance core with a Carbon 3K face explains the feel: soft enough to absorb pace and reset the point, precise enough to put a lob on the back glass at will. Comfort 78 and tolerance 77 make it kind to arms and imperfect contact alike. Power 82 is the trade, respectable but not a finisher, so points end through construction rather than violence. For intermediates upward who win with patience and placement, it is superb.

Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl

The Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl is a diamond control frame at 375 g with an EVA performance core and carbon-6k face, built for advanced players who want precise directional play from a premium construction. Control at 85 and tolerance at 75 confirm a precise, forgiving character. Maneuverability at 74 is adequate. Power at 72 is the honest trade-off. PRR score: 82/100.
