The Adipower Legend 2025 is built for attacking play. Diamond shape and high balance shift the weight into the head. Together with 365 grams, that brings plenty of pressure to the smash and víbora. Beneath the Carbon 3K hitting face sits a soft EVA Soft Performance core. It damps the impact more than on hard power rackets and gives pace even to shorter shots. Because of the shape, the sweet spot sits higher in the head and is smaller than on round models, so the racket forgives inaccurate hits less.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and partly makes up for that. With power 9 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 4.1 out of 10, it remains demanding, but it is more forgiving than 80% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. Soft core and high balance: only 12 of the 507 models we compare have this combination. 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €135.98 to €157.50 – a €22 difference for the same model.
Intermediate and experienced attacking players with clean technique who finish points overhead and want a softer feel on contact.

Last updated: November 2026 · How we rate
Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 4.1 out of 10 – demanding, needs clean technique.
The Adidas Adipower Legend 2025 weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a soft core (EVA Soft Performance). The frame is made of Carbon 3K.
Not by our rule: the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
