Adidas Adipower Legend wins by 17 points
Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 73/100 for the Vairo Columns Ultra. Its biggest edge is control (+26). On price, the Vairo Columns Ultra is currently €90 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 Columns Ultra is Vairo's soft-core budget attacker: a 375 g even build with a Soft EVA heart and fibreglass face producing power 75 with the sting partially amortised (comfort 66). Control 66 and tolerance 65 hold the tier's standard terms; handling is honest (68). Value 82 continues the brand's aggressive arithmetic. Within Vairo's budget shelf the Columns is the civilised alternative to the Everlast Cross's full commitment: similar pace, softer landing, same pressure pricing. The familiar closing applies: thin network, honest violence, calculator-approved.”
