Adidas Match Light 3.4

The Match Light 3.4 is the current 360 g Match: an even-balanced Soft EVA build under a fibreglass face producing power 72 with fair-to-firm terms (comfort 66, tolerance 66) and prompt-enough hands (68). Value 82 matches the family's best. The Light proposition stays simple: trefoil keenness minus the mass, for improvers who want to attack without carrying the weight. Against its own 3.3 predecessor this edition currently wins on price, which by Match logic settles it. Buy the 3.4, swing early, and let the soft core tidy the landings.

Adidas Match Black

The Match Black 2026 is the freshest Match and currently the best-priced: an EVA Soft Performance core under a fibreglass face in a documented 360 to 375 g spread, producing power 73 with firm-ish terms (comfort 66, tolerance 65). Value 82 leads the family. Weight options at bench money are a quiet luxury, letting buyers pick the mass their arm prefers rather than accepting the default. Otherwise the formula is unchanged: trefoil keenness, soft-core landing, honest price. By the family's own buy-on-price logic, this is today's correct Match.
