Adidas Metalbone Carbon Lineage
Best for: 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.

"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."
