Adidas Metalbone Reserve 2026 Racket

Adidas Metalbone Reserve 2026, the limited-edition power racket by Ale Galán

The Adidas Metalbone Reserve 2026 is a powerful limited-edition padel racket built in the image of Ale Galán. With a diamond shape and a head-heavy balance, it puts swing speed and the smash at the heart of your game.

Who is this racket for?

It targets the expert, competitive player with a strong arm, who hits hard and looks to finish points above the net. Its stiff profile and high balance call for a well-built stroke and good physical condition: this is not a beginner's racket, but a power tool for advanced players.

The technologies explained

• Carbon Aluminized 16K: aluminium woven into the carbon fibre makes the frame very stiff and durable, with a firm feel that returns all your arm's power.
• Octagonal Structure and Low Poly: an 8-sided tube and a polyhedral design stiffen the frame and core to store power at impact.
• Power Groove: a rail set into the profile increases structural stiffness and improves energy return.
• EVA Soft Performance: a low-density foam that absorbs vibration and softens the strike despite the stiff frame.
• Spin Blade and Smart Holes Curve: a surface relief to grip the ball and a drilling pattern that widens the sweet spot and improves forgiveness.

The Extreme Tennis team's view

The Metalbone Reserve 2026 owns its smasher-racket status: a hard frame, a head-heavy balance, and EVA Soft foam so comfort is not fully sacrificed. The longer grip adds inertia and speed on the attack. It suits the player who wants to weigh on every shot and looks for a heavy ball.
