Adidas Metalbone HRD+ vs Joma Hyper Pro SFT

“On paper the HRD+ 2026 is the 2025 HRD+ 3.4 again: the same head-heavy diamond, the same Carbon Aluminized 16K face over High Memory EVA. The one new part adidas lists is a padded, adjustable wrist cord. So it scores like the 3.4: power 92, control 72, manoeuvrability 67, comfort 64 and tolerance 63. It gives you a lot of racket on the overhead and very little back on a late block or a ball off the frame. Value falls to 71 because the 2025 is discounted and this one is not yet, so our score is 88, one under the 3.4.”

“The Hyper Pro SFT scores as Joma's soft-tuned club offer: an even 74/74 power-control split with comfort 74 leading and tolerance 72 supporting, effectively the same kind, balanced card as the brand's Blast Pro SF. Full specification is unconfirmed, so demo before committing. Value 74 edges its sibling slightly. The recurring Joma story holds: credible, friendly frames at prices that pressure the established brands, from a badge still earning padel recognition. Between the two Joma frames, buy on price and colour preference; the cards are functionally identical. Both reward the open-minded demo.”
