Power version of the Metalbone 3.4 range: diamond shape with a high balance, octagonal carbon frame and flexible fibreglass face for a softer touch with plenty of oomph. The predecessor generation of the Metalbone Team 2026 with a comparable performance profile.
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 medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 8 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 4.5 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 89% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 2 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €134.90 to €139.95.

Our classification: Intermediate. Its forgiveness is 4.5 out of 10 – balanced.
The Adidas Metalbone Team 3.4 2025 weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core (EVA Soft Performance). The frame is made of Carbon (oktagonal) + Fiberglas-Fläche.
Not by our rule: the core is medium-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.
