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."

The International Padel Federation's acceptance as a World Anti-Doping Code signatory places the sport under the same rigorous testing standards as Olympic disciplines — a prerequisite for global legitimacy that required two years of regulatory overhaul with the International Testing Agency.

HEAD and the Spanish Padel Federation just extended their partnership to 11 years — a bet on continuity in a sport where infrastructure innovation, from MejorSet's "Full Panoramic" courts to FIP's youth tour expansion in Asia, is accelerating faster than ever.

As the World Padel League brings Paula Josemaría, Marta Ortega, and Carlos Daniel Gutiérrez to Mumbai in August, Britain takes a different path — backing community-driven events like PadelFest to expand its player base from the ground up.
