The Metalbone Hrd+ 3.4 combines a diamond shape with high balance and 352 g. As a result the weight sits noticeably in the head. That gives smashes and overhead shots plenty of power, but in fast rallies at the net it demands more strength from the wrist and forearm. The Carbon 16K hitting face and the EVA core make for a hard construction that responds directly and precisely on a full follow-through and provides little ball acceleration of its own on slow shots. The rough surface supports spin on the bandeja and víbora.
At 352 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. 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 hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 9 and control 5 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 1.8 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 80% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 6 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €149.56 to €229.95 – a €80 difference for the same model.
Intermediate and experienced attacking players with clean technique who want to win their points through the smash and quick finishes.

Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 1.8 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
The Adidas Metalbone Hrd+ 3.4 2025 weighs 352 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a hard core (EVA). The frame is made of Carbon 16K.
Not by our rule: the core is hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards. 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.
