What is the primary material used on the hitting surface?

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To maximize the lifespan of your Adidas Match Light 2026, ensure you use an appropriate overgrip to keep your hold secure and dry. Since this racket uses a fiberglass surface, it is best to avoid hitting the court walls or wire fencing directly, as fiberglass is prone to surface scratching and structural fatigue under heavy impact. When storing the racket, keep it in a temperature-controlled environment; extreme heat in a parked car can degrade the EVA core. Wipe the surface down with a dry cloth after matches to remove dust and court grit, and ensure the racket is completely dry before placing it in a gear bag to prevent moisture buildup.
