Adidas’s top of the line Adipower Multiweight CTRL model combines the power of the Adipower line with the Multiweight weight and balance customization system in a round-shaped racket.
The Multiweight system is truly effective and allows the player to increase or decrease the weight and balance of the racket by 12 grams by adding or removing 13 screws on the top and sides of the racket frame.
Our reviews report that it provides a more effective weight and balance customization system than the Metalbone’s.
This effectively gives the player access to multiple rackets in one package.
Imagine you’re playing on a hot, dry day, and you want to focus on your smashes. You could increase the weight and balance with a few screw turns and have a new racket to make it rain with chancletazos.
Additionally, the Adipower rackets come with the 3D Spin Blade roughness to assist players in generating spin on their shots.

"The Multiweight system is great. This racket has a medium balance, medium ball output, which helps us in the defensive game. This year’s Adipower Spin Blade system has been weakened compared to last year’s. The Adidas handles are very short."

Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia drew the toughest possible path to defend their title at the Valladolid Premier Padel P2, landing on the same side as the third seeds — while partner shuffles reshape the women's field ahead of the season's crucial midpoint.

Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto fought back from a set down to reach the Valencia P1 final, but their 4-6, 6-3, 6-4 semifinal victory over Juan Lebrón and Leo Augsburger was defined less by tennis than by escalating on-court tensions between former partners.
