Adidas Adipower Legend wins by 11 points
Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 79/100 for the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6. Its biggest edge is control (+14). On price, the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6 is currently €29 cheaper.
“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.”
“The Air Vertuo 2.6 is Babolat's light control-leaning frame for 2026: 360 g with a Black EVA core and 18K face, scoring control 78 over power 72 with kindness throughout (comfort 73, tolerance 74). Maneuverability 73 keeps it prompt, and the premium face gives placement work unusual clarity at this weight. Value 78 is strong. The recipe suits intermediates who build points and protect arms: precise, light, forgiving, informative. Committed finishers should look elsewhere; everyone else gets one of the better light all-rounders in the current Babolat list. Demo alongside the Counter Vertuo for the fuller-framed version.”
