Who is the Adidas Metalbone Team 3.4 racquet designed for?
TheAdidas Metalbone Team 3.4 is aimed at regular padel players who are looking for high performance on the court (advanced level) with a power style of play.
If this is your case, then this racquet is perfect for you, as it features a sweet spot moved towards the head (this will help you with smashes or other offensive shots, as it generates leverage that manages to exert excellent power).
Balance: high
"This is the racquet's balance point, measured in millimeters from the bottom of the racquet (handle).
The higher this value (head balance), the more power and stability the racquet will have, and the heavier it will feel (even if the weight isn't high). However, it will be less maneuverable. Conversely, the smaller this value (handle balance), the more manoeuvrable the snowshoe will be, but, less powerful and stable.
"
Sieve size: 485 cm2
This is the surface area in cm² of the racket's sieve. It has an impact on the racquet's feeling of tolerance and power. The larger the headsize, the more powerful and forgiving the racket. But the less control it provides. Conversely, the smaller the headsize, the more control the racket will feel, and the less power and tolerance it will have.
Weight: 360-375 g
Mass is actually measured in grams. Like balance, weight influences the racket's inertia, and therefore its maneuverability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racquet, the more energy it will transfer to the ball, but the less maneuverability it will have. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the more maneuverable it will be, yet it will transfer less energy to the ball.
Internal material: Eva Soft Performance
The high-density Eva Soft Performance foam facilitates ball rebound and gives the player an incredible feeling of comfort at impact without sacrificing power.
Structural Reinforcement technology
Reinforcements all around the perimeter of Metalbone Team 3.3 to optimize its resistance to the high levels of twisting it undergoes throughout the match.
Spin Blade Gritt technology
Roughness on the surface of the racket (sandy type) which will help you print all the spin more efficiently and also optimize your feel for the ball.
Smart Hole Curve technology
Curved screen holes optimize ball effect on impact.
