Adidas Metalbone Ctrl wins by 16 points
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl scores 88/100 against 72/100 for the Adidas Control. Its biggest edge is power (+16).
“The Control Blue 2026 is adidas at its plainest: an EVA core under a carbon-fibreglass face scoring control 76 with kind terms (comfort 74, tolerance 76) and prompt handling (74). Power 62 states the single-minded brief. Weight documentation is incomplete. Value 78 is honest. The name is the specification: this frame places the ball and does nothing else, at money that respects the modesty. For placement-first improvers who want the trefoil without flagship pricing, it serves plainly; the Cross It Team Ctrl a shelf up adds polish for a little more.”
“The Adidas Metalbone Ctrl is a diamond control frame at 360 g with an EVA foam core, built for advanced players who want exceptional directional precision. Control at 90 is the exceptional headline: among the most precisely placed frames in the advanced bracket. PRR score 88 confirms the level of overall performance. Power at 78 is the honest trade-off. Comfort at 76 and tolerance at 76 keep it usable across regular sessions. PRR score: 88/100.”
