“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 Optimus 5 Air is Siux's genuinely entry-level option - a light, round, EVA-cored racket with a plain fibreglass face, built for unisex accessibility rather than any specific edge. There's no pretence of attacking output here; it's a simple, comfortable, easy-to-swing first racket at a genuinely low price.”
