Our impression
Control version of the Metalbone 3.4 range: octagonal carbon frame with an aluminised 16K carbon face over an EVA Soft Performance core. The predecessor generation of the Metalbone Carbon CTRL 2026 – a little less refined, but with the same control DNA.
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 Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 6 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.5 out of 10, it is easy-going, even though 68% of the round models in our comparison leave even more margin for error. 2 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €130.98 to €184.90 – a €54 difference for the same model.
