Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 82/100 for the Black Crown Crown Special Elite. Its biggest edge is control (+16). On price, the Adidas Adipower Legend is currently €5 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 Special Elite is Black Crown's balanced offer: a Black EVA core under a 3K carbon face in a 370 g build, scoring power 80 against control 76 with fair terms across the board (comfort 71, tolerance 70). The strike has the boutique brand's pleasant density, and maneuverability 73 keeps it punctual. Value 76 is honest. It plays the role of dependable club companion convincingly: enough hit to finish, enough composure to build, no number that punishes. Within Black Crown, the Special Max is friendlier and the Piton fiercer; the Elite is the sensible centre. Solid, likeable, easy to live with.”
