Our scores, updated 8 November 2026 · How we score
Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Metalbone takes 5 of the six, the Stormbreaker takes value.
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 Stormbreaker'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 Metalbone is about 22 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Stormbreaker puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Metalbone, 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.
