Adidas Adipower Legend wins by 13 points
Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 77/100 for the Wilson Blade V3. Its biggest edge is control (+23). On price, the Adidas Adipower Legend is currently €22 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 Wilson Blade V3 is a power-oriented teardrop aimed at beginners, but at 365g it sits on the heavier end for its target audience, making quick exchanges and net reactions noticeably laboured for newer players still developing technique. The EVA core delivers a stiff, punchy feel that sacrifices arm comfort and touch, meaning players who rally for extended sessions may feel fatigue and lack the feedback needed to develop consistent placement. Wilson's padel pedigree remains thinner than specialist brands like Bullpadel or Nox, and at its price point you can find more refined, better-balanced beginner options that serve developing players more holistically.”
