The Metalbone Carbon is 2023’s affordable addition to the Adidas Metalbone line.
It does not have the weight and balance customization system of the Metalbones.
With its soft core and 6K carbon fiber surface, it is a soft racket, which aims to provide players with versatility and comfort.
It will be great for your overhead game with its 3D Spin Blade roughness and the weight in its head.
