Adidas Metalbone Youth 3.3

The Metalbone Youth 3.3 is adidas's junior attacker: a 345 g head-heavy diamond scoring power 74, unusually high for a young-player frame, with kind-enough terms (comfort 70, tolerance 71) and quick handling (72). Face documentation is incomplete. Value 78 is fair. The design premise differs from the gentle junior mainstream: this frame assumes a competitive kid with real technique who wants adult attacking patterns early. For that specific junior it is excellent; for developing players still learning contact, the Arrow Hit Junior's kindness teaches better.
