Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Metalbone takes 2 of the six, the Diavolo 25 takes sweet spot and comfort and value, and handling is level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Four things change between them. Pick one to look closer.
16K packs 16,000 carbon filaments into each thread against 12,000: a stiffer face that answers sooner on volleys. The Diavolo 25's 12K is a little softer and gives you more time when you are late.
Edge: the Metalbone, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Diavolo 25 is about 352 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Metalbone puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Diavolo 25, for quick hands
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
Only the Metalbone is at PadelProShop right now, at €207.
