Bullpadel Neuron 02 vs Adidas Metalbone HRD+

“The Neuron 02 plays like a power racket that went to finishing school. The multilayer EVA core and Carbon 3K face deliver proper pace on drives and remates (power 88), but the even balance means the head is where you expect it on the next ball too, so bandejas and blocks stay composed (control 84). That mix is why it scores 92 overall. It still hits firm: comfort 70 will surface across back-to-back matches, and tolerance 69 rewards players who strike cleanly under pressure. For an advanced all-court attacker it is one of the most complete frames Bullpadel makes.”

“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.”
