Adidas Metalbone PP 14.5mm (no weights)

This paddle delivers control-oriented 54.1 MPH power, spin-friendly low twist weight — an all-court option in an elongated shape.

Pros

  • +Elongated shape gives extra reach on defense, overheads, and two-handed backhands

Cons

  • −Below-average power at 54.1 MPH (bottom 7%, avg 56.4) — you'll need to generate pace with technique
  • −Lower pop at 35.1 MPH (16th percentile, avg 36.1) — may feel sluggish in fast hands exchanges
  • −Low stability — twist weight of 5.1 (bottom 2%) means off-center hits will twist more in your hand
  • −Narrower face means a smaller horizontal sweet spot
