Head-to-head on PRR scores, specs, and live prices — independently tested with the same methodology. Updated daily.
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl wins by 16 points
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl scores 88/100 against 72/100 for the Starvie Radar. Its biggest edge is control (+17).
“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 Radar 2024 is StarVie's control-tuned entry frame, and the same weight question applies as to the Drax: 385 g of even-balanced teardrop asks real strength of the beginners it targets. The card is otherwise kind: control 73, comfort 71, tolerance 72, with the fibreglass face keeping touch soft. Power 64 states the placement brief. Value 74 is fair for handmade construction. For sturdy new players who want Spanish craft and a patient teacher in one frame, it serves; for lighter arms, maneuverability 68 already carries a warning.”
