Adidas Metalbone Ctrl vs Dunlop Strike
Head-to-head on PRR scores, specs, and live prices — independently tested with the same methodology. Updated daily.
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl wins by 18 points
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl scores 88/100 against 70/100 for the Dunlop Strike. Its biggest edge is control (+18).
“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.”
“The Strike Green is Dunlop's 2022 control veteran: an even 375 g EVA build scoring control 72 with civil terms (comfort 71, tolerance 72) and honest handling (71). Power 64 states the patient brief. Face documentation is incomplete on survivors. Value 74 reflects four seasons of drift. The card remains a coherent, kind placement frame; the brand's current Nemesis Control and the benchmarks deliver the same character with fresher materials at similar money. Standard veteran guidance: genuine clearance or walk on. Inspect what survives.”
