“The Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl is a diamond control frame at 375 g with an EVA performance core and carbon-6k face, built for advanced players who want precise directional play from a premium construction. Control at 85 and tolerance at 75 confirm a precise, forgiving character. Maneuverability at 75 is adequate. Power at 72 is the honest trade-off. Our score: 83/100.”
“On paper the HRD+ 2026 is the 2025 HRD+ 3.4 again: the same head-heavy diamond, the same Carbon Aluminized 16K face over High Memory EVA. The one new part adidas lists is a padded, adjustable wrist cord. So it scores like the 3.4: power 92, control 72, manoeuvrability 67, comfort 64 and tolerance 63. It gives you a lot of racket on the overhead and very little back on a late block or a ball off the frame. Value falls to 71 because the 2025 is discounted and this one is not yet, so our score is 88, one under the 3.4.”
