Metalbone CTRL 3.4

A hybrid-shaped control version of the Metalbone, part of Adidas's Best 25 guide in the hybrid category. It keeps Metalbone's technologies but shifts balance and feel toward control, for advanced players who want the range's power potential with more precision.

The Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.4 2025 takes the flagship Metalbone platform and retunes it for control, sitting in the hybrid category of Adidas's Best 25 guide. Compared with the head-heavy Metalbone 3.4, the CTRL shifts balance and feel toward precision, giving advanced players a more manageable frame that still carries the range's power technologies. It combines a carbon face with Adidas's structural reinforcements, Power Groove and Weight & Balance System, allowing players to tune the racket between control and power. The hybrid shape blends the manoeuvrability of a rounder head with some of the punch of a teardrop, producing a versatile all-court option. It suits strong players who like the Metalbone identity but want more forgiveness, comfort and shot-making consistency.
