FAQs
Is the Adidas Metalbone 2026 suitable for beginners?
No, this racket is designed for advanced and professional players. Its diamond shape and high balance can be difficult for beginners to control.
How do I use the Weight & Balance system?
You can remove or add the included small weights in the racket throat to adjust the total weight and balance point by up to 11.2 grams.
What is the benefit of 16K carbon?
16K carbon provides higher stiffness than standard carbon, leading to a faster response and more power when hitting the ball.
Does this racket come with a cover?
Please check your specific retail package contents, as included accessories like racket covers vary by region and retailer.
How often should I clean the racket?
Wiping down the surface after every session is recommended to keep the Spin Blade texture effective.
Troubleshooting
Excessive vibration during impact
Check that all weight screws in the balance system are tightened to the correct torque specification.
Reduced spin effectiveness
Clean the Spin Blade surface with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated ball felt and court dust.
Racket feels too heavy during play
Remove the adjustable weight screws to decrease total mass and shift the balance point toward the handle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To customize your racket, use the provided tool to remove or adjust the weight screws located in the throat area. Always ensure screws are tightened firmly but do not over-torque to avoid damaging the internal threads. To maintain the integrity of the 16K carbon faces, avoid contact with the metal mesh of the court or the ground. Store the racket in a climate-controlled environment to prevent the EVA core from hardening or deteriorating due to extreme temperature fluctuations. Clean the surface with a soft, dry cloth after play to remove dust, which can affect the spin-generating capabilities of the Spin Blade texture.
