Adidas Metalbone Hrd+ 3.5 2026 Padel Racket - Ale Galan

Ale Galán's Attacking Weapon for 2026

The Adidas Metalbone HRD+ 3.5 2026 is the power racket in Ale Galán's Metalbone family, built for players who want to finish points from the net. Its diamond shape and head-heavy balance place mass towards the top of the face, where the high sweet spot rewards a full, committed swing on smashes, viboras and attacking bandejas. Adidas rates it as a pro-level racket, so it suits competitive players with established technique rather than those still building their game.

Stiff Face, High-Memory Core

The hitting surface uses Carbon Aluminized 16K, a stiff face material chosen for fast ball exit and stability on hard-hit balls. Behind it sits a High Memory, high-density EVA core that recovers quickly after impact, giving a firm, direct response when you accelerate through the ball. The 38 mm profile and roughly 455 mm length are standard for the Metalbone line, so the racket feels familiar to anyone coming from earlier editions.

A Frame Built to Resist Torsion

Adidas reinforces the frame with an Octagonal Structure tubular carbon frame, a Power Groove rail that adds stiffness, Low Poly polyhedral geometry and perimeter Structural Reinforcement. Together they limit twisting on off-centre contact, so the face stays square when you are stretched at the net or blocking a fast ball at chest height. The Extra Power Grip lengthens the handle, shifting balance further to the head for more inertia on overheads.

Tune the Balance to Your Game

The Weight & Balance System lets you add interchangeable weights to adjust the racket's mass and balance point, so you can make it more manoeuvrable for long sessions or heavier at the head for maximum punch. A Spin Blade Decal textured relief on the face helps the ball grip for kick smashes and sliced bandejas, and an adjustable cord with a padded wrist strap completes the package.

Who It Is For

Choose the Metalbone HRD+ 3.5 2026 if your game is built around attacking from the net and you can generate your own racket-head speed. Players who prefer long defensive rallies or a softer, more forgiving feel will be better served by the round Metalbone Control model.
