Where to Buy

Adidas Adipower CTRL Light 3.1 padel racket - front view

Pros

  • It’s a racket that responds very well - you can give the ball speed and it goes well, and it also catches nice spin on the rulos and the viboras
  • Medium balance at 26cm, but feels light.
  • Handling in the back is super easy and comfortable, i had no problem with super low balls or behind me, easy to use the wrist

Cons

  • What’s demanding for me is when the ball comes fast, racket doesn’t function exactly as I expect. And when I wanted to give the ball a bit more speed, it lacked something, I would ask for a bit more power from the racket, a bit more weight.
