The Adipower 3.2 is Adidas’ top of the line power racket. It is very similar to the Adipower Multiweight with the notable omission, of course, of the Multiweight balance and weight customization system.
The Adipower is a very powerful racket. It is Adidas’s hardest offering, and it has a high balance. The model we tested had a 27.4cm balance with a protector and one overgrip.
It has the standard Adidas 12cm handle with the long non-cinching strap.
It has Adidas High Memory EVA, the brand’s hardest, which we categorize between medium and medium-hard.
It also sports the Adipower Spin Blade Mold, which grips the ball much stronger than the Metalbone’s Spin Blade Octagonal.
