Our impression
A limited edition built around Ale Galán's playing style: a diamond shape with high balance, a 16K carbon face and an EVA Soft Performance core. It dispenses with the Weight & Balance system of the standard Metalbones in favour of a slightly more forgiving, oversize-like shape, similar to the Metalbone Carbon but with a calmer, more refined feel.
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 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 2.0 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 77% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €195 to €350 – a €155 difference for the same model.

What level of player is the Adidas Metalbone Reserve EDT 2026 suited to?
Our classification: Competitive. Its forgiveness is 2.0 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
How heavy is the Adidas Metalbone Reserve EDT 2026 and how is it built?

Is the Adidas Metalbone Reserve EDT 2026 arm-friendly?
Not by our rule: the core is hard, 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.
