Adidas Metalbone HRD 3.2 Review

The Metalbone HRD 3.2 from Adidas immediately grabs attention with its distinctive appearance. The square-shaped frame, running like a tube over the frame, and the six detachable weights at the heart of the racket are characteristic features of this impressive padel racket. These weights can be arranged individually to customize the racket weight and balance according to personal preferences.

Design and Technology:

However, the striking design of the Metalbone HRD 3.2 is not just about appearances. The diamond shape combined with the high balance point and the aluminum hitting surface make this racket a powerhouse. The “HRD” stands for “hard” and refers to the reinforced hitting surface, which is exceptionally hard, significantly increasing ball speed.

Power in Focus:

In my test, I removed all weights at the racket’s heart to set the balance point as high as possible and experience the most powerful version of the Metalbone HRD 3.2. The result: 100% Power! Few rackets make it as effortless to put pressure on opponents during overhead shots. This racket is the perfect choice for players seeking more power in their strokes.

Technological Refinements:

The Metalbone HRD 3.2 shares many technologies with its predecessor, the METALBONE 3.2. However, a crucial difference lies in the use of the harder and more compact HIGH MEMORY EVA rubber inside. Combined with the 2-1 ALUMINIZED CARBON surface, this makes a noticeable difference in power.

Not Just Power, But Also Technology:

However, the Metalbone HRD 3.2 is not solely focused on power. The OCTAGONAL STRUCTURE frame technology increases the structural stiffness of the racket, ensuring stability. The SPIN BLADE System in the hitting surface improves shot control, while the WEIGHT AND BALANCE SYSTEM allows individual balance customization through the removable weight system at the heart of the racket.

If you’re looking for a padel racket that impresses not only with its stunning design but especially with its power, the Adidas Metalbone HRD 3.2 is the perfect choice for you. It combines innovative technologies with powerful performance, allowing you to dominate the court with impressive power.
