Adidas Metalbone Carbon

“The Adidas Metalbone Carbon 2026 is a diamond power frame at 375 g with an EVA performance core and Carbon 6K face, built for advanced players who want serious overhead aggression. Power at 86 leads the profile. Control at 72 and tolerance at 65 are low: clean, committed technique is essential. Comfort at 66 confirms this is a demanding frame. PRR score: 84/100.”

Lok Maxx Hype

“The Lok Maxx Hype Gen 2 is a raw power weapon built for aggressive attackers who want to punish high balls and finish points at the net with authority. The diamond shape combined with a head-heavy balance and EVA core delivers a satisfying, punchy response on smashes and drives, though the demanding sweet spot and reduced maneuverability mean off-centre mishits are punished and quick exchanges can feel laboured. Advanced players who dominate from the back with a complete, consistent game will get the most from this racket, while those still refining technique may find it unforgiving.”
