About the Adidas Adipower Light 3.2
Adipower Light 3.2
Marta Ortega’s 2023 model is a beautiful, comfortable, lightweight model from Adidas’s premium Adipower line.
This racket is targeted toward small-framed players seeking help in their defensive game from its high ball output, large sweet spot, and agility.
This racket will help you continue the point when your opponents apply pressure.
Additional features:
-
It comes with Adidas’s 2023 Spin Blade 3D roughness, which is slightly smoother than 2022’s version.
-
Adipower rackets, including this one, come with 3M tape protector, which can be added to add some weight to the head of the racket frame.
-
Its Smart Holes Curve system refers to the distribution of the holes in the frame, which aims to increase the size of the sweet spot and deliver spin.
Subjectively, we also love the design updates made to this racket this year.

"Marta Ortega’s lightweight version of the Adipower CTRL 3.2 which has a medium-soft touch and helps us a lot in the defense with a large sweet spot and high ball output, but doesn’t have a lot of power. Good for intermediate players looking for a lightweight, medium-soft racket with a large sweet spot."
