adidas

adidas has the widest range in our index, from starter rackets to tournament models. The brand works in series, and a series can vary a lot inside.

Metalbone is the best known. Most Metalbones are diamonds with plenty of power, for left-side players who finish points. Not all of them: the Metalbone CTRL and the Carbon CTRL are round and built for control. Cross IT sits closer to the middle between power and control on average, with round and diamond models. Adipower is the older line that many shops still sell, often for less than the newest Metalbone.

If you are starting out or play for fun, look at Match, Drive and RX. Fibreglass, round or all-round, soft on the arm and usually well under 110 euros.

For some models only the name changes from one year to the next (3.3, 3.4, 2026). Check the versions on the racket page: sometimes last year's model is the same racket for less.
