Metalbone

The Adidas Metalbone is an elongated paddle with a 13mm EVA foam core and a carbon fiber face. Its shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Carbon fiber faces are often associated with control and feel, while EVA foam cores are known for their blend of power and comfort. Weighing 7.8 oz with a medium swing weight of 116, the Metalbone may provide a balance of maneuverability and power. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of control and power. The spin rating is 4.0 out of 10, placing it in the 17th percentile. The twist weight rating is 3.3 out of 10, falling into the 13th percentile. This suggests the paddle may be less resistant to twisting on off-center hits. Potential strengths include the combination of a control-oriented face and a comfortable core. A potential weakness could be the lower twist weight, which may affect stability for some players.
