Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 2026
Pairs well with
The hardest-hitting frame adidas make. HRD stands for the harder rubber compound, and it changes the racket completely: less dwell time, a flatter trajectory, and a noticeably louder strike.
Everything else is Metalbone — diamond head, 16K aluminised carbon, head-heavy balance — but the High Memory core gives the ball back faster than the standard Soft Performance rubber. On a cold morning it takes a few games to wake up. Once it does, nothing in the range hits harder.

Not sure which shape?
Round keeps the sweet spot in the middle of the face: most forgiving, best control, easiest to play. Teardrop sits in between and suits most club players. Diamond pushes the sweet spot high for maximum power and punishes anything hit off-centre.
Shipping and returns
Shipping is calculated at checkout. 30-day returns on unused items in original condition, with the protector tape unfitted.
Care and warranty
Fit protector tape before you play, and keep the racket out of a hot car. Heat delaminates padel frames far more often than impact does. Covered by the manufacturer's 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects.
