Adidas Metalbone 3.1 characteristics
The model has an updated design but the same black and red color scheme as last year.
The Metalbone weighs 345-360 g, but you can modify it by adding weights. The set includes two red weights weighing one gram each and four metal-colored weights weighing 2.5 grams each. The racket will weigh about 360 grams with all the weights and have a slightly lower balance.
Materials
There is an aluminized carbon fiber striking surface, which is hard, and a soft performance core. To improve grip, Adidas has added a texture to the hitting surface. Metalbone uses Octogonal Structure in the frame to generate more power in hard hits.
Balance
The Adidas Metalbone 3.1 has a high balance, meaning the weight is distributed in the upper part of the racket. As a result, the strokes will have good weight while the defense will be more challenging.
Racket shape
This racket has a diamond shape and a sweet spot at the top of the hitting surface. When you hit the ball far out on the racket, your strokes will be more powerful and fast, which is especially beneficial when you are playing offensively.
