Best Padel Racket of 2025: Adidas Metalbone 3.4 Wins the Power Award

by Luis Gutierrez

During the recent World Padel Summit 2025, held from May 27th to 29th at Fira Barcelona, Adidas Padel stood out as a major player by winning one of the industry's most prestigious awards: the POWER category at the Best Padel Awards 2025.

The racket in the spotlight is the Metalbone 3.4, designed for world number one Ale Galán. This recognition, granted by Testea—a leading platform in paddle racket testing and analysis—confirms Adidas’ technological leadership in high-performance equipment.

A Racket Built to Dominate

The Metalbone 3.4 is part of a fully revamped collection for 2025. With a completely redesigned mold, this racket not only delivers a bold new look, but also significantly boosts on-court performance.

Key innovations include:

  • Extra Power Grip: A longer handle that increases stroke inertia, delivering greater speed and power on smashes.

  • Low Poly Design: A polyhedral structure in both the frame and the heart of the racket enhances stiffness and optimizes energy transfer with each shot.

  • Power Groove: A groove running along the racket head aligns the fibers to maximize structural rigidity and hitting power.

Additionally, the 2025 Weight & Balance System allows for ultra-precise customization—up to 11.2 grams distributed between the heart and top of the frame. This enables players to fine-tune the racket to their playing style, whether prioritizing control or maximizing power.

Premium Materials for Superior Performance

The Metalbone 3.4 is built with 16K Aluminized Carbon and EVA Soft Performance rubber, offering the perfect blend of stiffness, power, and ball output. The inclusion of Spin Blade Decal technology further enhances spin, taking offensive play to new heights.

An Elite Model

This racket is one of two exclusive models designed for Ale Galán in 2025, alongside the Metalbone HRD+ 3.4. It’s tailored for players seeking the ultimate in power, control, and versatility to compete at the highest level.

But Adidas didn’t stop there. Several other rackets in their lineup were also featured in the exclusive Best 25 Guide, which highlights the year’s top models across different categories:

  • Metalbone Ctrl 3.4 and Adipower Multiweight Ctrl 3.4 – HYBRID category

  • Cross It 3.4 – HYBRID POWER category

  • Cross It Ctrl 3.4 – CONTROL category

  • RX 3.4 – INITIATION category

The success of the Metalbone 3.4 at the Best Padel Awards is no coincidence. This accolade reaffirms Adidas' commitment to innovation, performance, and quality. For players looking for explosive power, cutting-edge design, and top-tier technology, the Metalbone 3.4 stands out as the best padel racket of 2025.
