[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Adipower Multiweight Ctrl 3.3 is a round, even-balance racket at 345 to 360 g with an 18K carbon face. On paper it is built for control and easy handling, not for power. Two video reviews agree on the control. The catch: comfort reads Low, so a sensitive arm may notice the firm face. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you play on control, build points with patience and want a round head that forgives a little - you like a racket that moves quickly in the hands at the net and in fast exchanges - you want to adjust weight and balance a little with the removable weights, and are happy to experiment Skip it if - your elbow or shoulder complains easily, because a softer option like the adidas Adipower Light 3.3 is rated High for comfort - you want a big sweet spot, since the adidas Metalbone Ctrl 3.3 reads High there against Medium here - you want to hit hard from the back of the court, where the head-heavy adidas Adipower Multiweight 3.3 is the better fit ## How it plays 8.6 **padell.io score 8.6** Play 8.9 (60%) and reviews 8.2 (40%).

The line also lists the Ctrl 3.4, with a 265 mm balance, 360 to 375 g and an Intermediate level. Its year is not given and its data is marked incomplete, so treat the numbers with care. On paper the 3.4 is heavier and a little more head-weighted. Both share the EVA High Memory core, the 18K carbon face and the round shape. Do not confuse either with the Adipower Multiweight 3.3, which is a separate head-heavy diamond. If you want the lighter one, look at the 3.3. ## Price history Today **€ 169.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 169.95** vs 30-day average **-8%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. ## What reviewers say No written reviews with ratings are listed yet. Two video reviews exist, and both played the racket. They agree on the main point: control. The Padel Review channel ranks it above every other adidas racket it has tested, and praises the solid build and the adjustable weights. Virgin Active Padel Club ZA calls it one of the most precise rackets in the 2024 range and says it also gives power on smashes. They differ on who it suits. The first stresses versatility for offensive players. The second says you need advanced technique because the sweet spot is small. Padel Review also says the stock handle is small and slippery, and that hard blocks vibrate slightly. Same name, opposite temperament. The [Adipower Multiweight 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-multiweight-3-3/) is a head-heavy diamond built to hit hard. This Ctrl 3.3 is its round, even-balance counterpart, built to keep the ball in play. There are no written reviews with ratings yet, so most of what follows comes from the specs and two video reviews. ## Multiweight Ctrl against Multiweight: same core, opposite shape Both rackets list an EVA High Memory core and an 18K carbon face. After that they split. The [Adipower Multiweight 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-multiweight-3-3/) is a diamond with a Head Heavy label, and its meters read Low control and High power. This Ctrl 3.3 is round with an Even label, and its meters read High control and Low power. So do not pick by the shared name. Pick by the shape and what you want from it. If you want pace from the back of the court, the diamond is the one to look at. If you want to place the ball and stay in the point, stay here. The Adipower family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Multiweight 3.3**](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-multiweight-3-3/) [**Ctrl 3.3**](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-ctrl-3-3/) [**CTRL MTW PRO EDT**](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-ctrl-mtw-pro-edt/) **Multiweight Ctrl 3.3** [**Light 3.3**](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-light-3-3/) ## Round head, 255 mm: where High control and High maneuverability come from The head is 460 cm2 and the frame is 38 mm thick. The balance point sits at 255 mm, and [adidas](https://padell.io/brands/adidas/) labels it Even. A round head puts the sweet spot closer to the centre. A lower balance keeps the weight nearer your hand. On court, that should mean quick reactions at the net and easy defence. A retailer lists the racket at 455 mm long. This is not a racket that does the work for you. Rather, it is one that lets you place the ball. The sweet spot meter reads Medium, so you still need to find the middle of the head. One video reviewer called the sweet spot relatively small and said you need advanced technique to use the racket well. ## Carbon face, firm core: why comfort reads Low The face is Carbon Aluminized 18K, and carbon like this is stiff. The core is EVA High Memory, which the meters count in favour of comfort, and so is the low balance. They do not offset the face. The result on paper is a firm response. A video reviewer said the racket can vibrate slightly on hard blocks. That fits the Low comfort reading. If your arm is already sensitive, the [adidas Adipower Light 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-light-3-3/) reads High for comfort and is a fair point of comparison. The handle spec is not published, and the same reviewer found the stock handle too small and slippery. ## What removable weights can change, and what adidas leaves open The product page claims the removable weights let you shift the racket toward more control or more power, and that they change balance and total weight. That is a brand claim. adidas does not publish how many grams the weights add or how far the balance moves. What is published: the [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) runs from 345 g to 360 g, and the system is called Weight & Balance System. A [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) and a low balance are the main source of the control on the meters. The weights are more sensibly read as a way to tune the racket a little, not as proof it can be turned into a power racket. A video reviewer liked the adjustable system and called the build very solid. ## Ctrl 3.3 or Ctrl 3.4: reading the next step in the line The Ctrl 3.4 is listed at 265 mm balance and 360 to 375 g, with Intermediate level. Its release year is not given and its data is incomplete. It is heavier and more head-weighted on paper, so it is not a simple swap. Check the numbers again once its data is complete. ## Ctrl 3.3, Metalbone Ctrl 3.3 or Adipower Light 3.2: picking your round control racket The [Metalbone Ctrl 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/metalbone-ctrl-3-3/) has the same weight range and shape, but reads Medium comfort and High sweet spot, with Medium maneuverability. See the [direct comparison](https://padell.io/compare/adidas-adipower-multiweight-ctrl-3-3-vs-adidas-metalbone-ctrl-3-3/). The Adipower Light 3.2 shows the same pattern. Choose this Ctrl 3.3 if quick handling matters more than a roomy sweet spot, and if your arm copes with a firm face.
