Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 3.4

The Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 3.4 2025 carries the Metalbone name into round-head territory, pairing an EVA foam core with a carbon face to produce a surprisingly explosive option for intermediate players. Power at 92 is exceptional for this level, and smashes off the back glass come out fast and heavy. Control at 72 and comfort at 64 are the compromises: expect some arm feedback and be ready to work for placement. PRR score: 89/100.

Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2

The Wilson Defy Pro V1 SE 2 is a round-to-teardrop hybrid that attempts to balance offensive punch with playability, but its identity feels somewhat undefined compared to more specialized competitors in its class. The feel is moderately stiff with a firm response on contact, making it best suited for intermediate players transitioning toward aggressive play who want some power without fully sacrificing control. Wilson's padel line still lags behind Tier 1 Spanish brands in materials refinement and court reputation, and at its price point there are sharper options available.
