Where to Buy
Pros
- Medium hardness "best buy" racket that is great for intermediate players of both sides of the court seeking versatility and comfort. This vibrates a lot less than the Metalbone Carbon CTRL. Test model 354g and 26cm.
- Great lobs. Easy to control the ball in the back of the court. Sometimes I lose control due to the trampoline effect at the net.
- Extremely maneuverable - it never tires the arm. It vibrates a bit, but much less than the Metalbone Carbon CTRL.
Cons
- May not suit all play styles

"I feel like Adidas want to give the Metalbone Carbon a distinct identity - power. This racket asks one thing: hit the sweet spot, and if you do, the ball goes out the court. It gives you a lot of variety in your overheads."
