Adidas Adipower Legend wins by 14 points
Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 76/100 for the Black Crown Crown Iconic. Its biggest edge is control (+24). On price, the Black Crown Crown Iconic is currently €15 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 Crown Iconic A005999 is a power-oriented hybrid aimed at beginners, offering a reasonably lively EVA foam core and carbon-3k surface that produces decent pace without demanding perfect technique. At 370g with an even balance, it sits in a middle ground that doesn't fully commit to either control or explosive power, leaving intermediate progressors likely to outgrow it quickly. Budget-conscious newcomers who want a presentable carbon racket to start their padel journey will find it serviceable, but the value proposition is undercut by stronger competitors at similar price points.”
