Adidas Metalbone Ctrl scores 88/100 against 80/100 for the Royal Padel Whip Light Poly 25. Its biggest edge is control (+19). On price, the Royal Padel Whip Light Poly 25 is currently €3 cheaper.
“The Adidas Metalbone Ctrl is a round 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 Whip Light Poly 25 is defined by its featherlight swing weight and quick-handling round-to-teardrop profile, making it a manageable option for recreational and intermediate players who prioritize wrist speed and defensive retrievals over raw punch. The polyethylene core delivers a softer, more forgiving feel than EVA alternatives, reducing arm fatigue during extended sessions, though it sacrifices the pop and depth that more advanced players will crave. Royal Padel remains a niche brand with limited global distribution and inconsistent quality control at this price tier, making it a reasonable but unremarkable choice compared to similarly priced offerings from Babolat or Head.”
