The short answer

The Metalbone Pro Edt 2026 is Ale Galán's diamond-shaped, head-heavy attacking racket, listed at 345 to 360 g. On paper it matches the standard Metalbone 2026 almost spec for spec. Nobody has reviewed it on court yet, so expect power, not forgiveness. Balance in mm and head size are not published.

By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026

Choose it if

- you already finish points with smashes and volleys and want a head-heavy diamond with Ale Galán's name on it
- tinkering appeals to you and you want a removable weight system that adjusts the racket by a total of 11.2 g
- an attacking style is your base and you are advanced enough to live with a small, demanding sweet spot

Skip it if

- you want a forgiving racket: the adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026 has a round head and even balance, and reads High for control and sweet spot
- defence is your base: a video review calls this racket unsuitable for defensive players, and the adidas Metalbone 3.3 reads the same on paper
- a published balance figure in mm matters to you before buying: the adidas Metalbone 2026 Ale Galán lists 265 mm, this racket lists none

## How it plays

8.0

**padell.io score 8.0** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 8.1 (40%). No independent reviews found yet, so that part starts low. [How the score works](https://padell.io/how-we-score/)

- **Control**: 4.0 below average▼
- **Power**: 9.0 above average▲
- **Comfort**: 5.5 around average●
- **Handling**: 3.0 below average▼
- **Forgiveness**: 4.0 below average▼
- **Line = the average of all rackets**: ▲ above ▼ below

On paper this is a racket for hitting down and through the ball, not for building points patiently.

- **Control** Low, because the diamond shape and head-heavy balance work against placement, even though the soft core helps a little.
- **Power** High, with a stiff carbon face, a diamond head and weight toward the top all pushing in the same direction.
- **Comfort** Medium, as the soft EVA core softens what the stiff face and the head-heavy balance add.
- **Handling** Low, since weight high in the head makes quick hands at the net harder work.
- **Forgiveness** Low, so you need to find the middle of the face more often than on a round racket.

## What reviewers say

There are no written test reviews for this racket yet. The only source is a video review from Pro Tennis Padel Sport, and the reviewer did not play it on court. That matters: the opinion rests on the specs, not on hitting balls.

The video calls the racket a high performance tool for advanced attackers. It praises the carbon surface for smashes, the adjustable weight for custom balance, and the soft core for comfort and ball feel. Its one criticism is that defensive players should avoid it.

There is little to argue about, because nothing contradicts it. The one disagreement is with the product page: it speaks of a high sweet spot, while the shape and the meters point to a small one. Until someone plays it and reports back, treat all of this as an informed expectation.

Put the adidas Metalbone Pro Edt 2026 next to the plain Metalbone 2026 and the sheets look like twins. Both list 345 to 360 g, a diamond head and 38 mm thickness. Both have the same soft core under the same 16K carbon face. So what does the Pro Edt label add? Mostly a limited-edition name and a missing balance figure. Nobody has published a review of it, so this page works from the specs and says where they stop.

## Twin sheets, two names: Pro Edt next to the Metalbone 2026

The brand lists a carbon frame, an EVA Soft Performance core and a Carbon Aluminized 16K face. The handle is called Extra Power Grip. The level is Professional and the shape is diamond. A retailer describes the surface as rough-textured. Length is 455 mm.

The standard [Metalbone 2026 Ale Galán](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/metalbone-2026-ale-galan/) lists the same [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/), shape, thickness, core and face. The 2025 [Metalbone 3.4 Ale Galán](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/metalbone-3-4-ale-galan/) does too. That is a lot of shared DNA. If you have played one of them, you know roughly what to expect here.

## Where the meters split from the Metalbone 2026: control and comfort

The meters read this racket as Low for control and Medium for comfort. The Metalbone 2026 reads the other way round: Medium control, Low comfort. Why, when the listed materials match?

The sheets do not say. One visible difference is that the Metalbone 2026 has a balance of 265 mm on its sheet. This one has only the label Head Heavy, and balance in mm is not published. Head size is not published either.

Treat that split with care. It shows up in the paperwork, not in a measured difference on court. If you are choosing between the two, do not pick one because of a single meter.

## 11.2 g of removable weight: what adidas claims and what it could change

The brand says a removable weight system lets you adjust the racket by a total of 11.2 g. The product page calls it new and improved and says you can customise weight and balance. Those are claims. The sheet does not say where the weights sit or how many pieces there are. The product page for the standard Metalbone 2026 also talks about a Weight & Balance System, so do not treat tuning as a Pro Edt exclusive.

What could it mean? The weight range is already 345 to 360 g, so the system may be part of why a range is listed. Taking weight off a head-heavy racket should make it a little easier to swing. Adding it should push it further toward power. That is reasoning from the spec, not a test result.

A fair warning: a small change in grams still changes how a head-heavy racket loads your arm. If your elbow or shoulder complains easily, change in small steps.

## One video review, no court test: how far the advice goes

The only outside opinion is a video review from the channel Pro Tennis Padel Sport. The reviewer did not play it on court, so it reads as a spec-based take. It calls the racket a powerful tool for aggressive players at the net and says it suits advanced attacking players. It also says defensive players should look elsewhere.

That matches the meters. It is not independent proof, because both lean on the same published specs. Think of it as agreement, not confirmation.

## Ale Galán's limited edition: a label, no proof of a rebuild

The product page calls this a limited edition for attacking players. It says the [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), a high sweet spot and the head-heavy balance help accelerate shots. Check that sweet spot claim against the shape. A diamond head is the shape that usually gives a smaller forgiving area, and the meters read the sweet spot as Low. The soft core helps, but not enough to change that. Sources disagree here, and you should side with the shape.

No published spec shows a rebuild. The weights, face and core match the standard model. The product page also says a rail in the profile adds rigidity and power. Whether that changes anything on court is unknown.

## Pro Edt, Metalbone 2026 or Metalbone 3.3: picking your Galán diamond

Three rackets, one idea. The Pro Edt lists no balance in mm. The Metalbone 2026 lists 265 mm. The [Metalbone 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/metalbone-3-3/) from 2024 lists a different face, Carbon Aluminized 2 to 1 fiber, with otherwise the same weight, shape and thickness.

Pick the Pro Edt if the limited-edition label appeals to you. Pick the Metalbone 2026 if you want the fuller sheet. Whichever you choose, this is an advanced attacker's racket. If you are still learning to place the ball, a round shape with even balance will teach you more.

## Questions before you buy

**Is the Metalbone Pro Edt 2026 the same racket as the Metalbone 2026?**

On paper they are almost identical: 345 to 360 g, diamond shape, 38 mm, the same core and 16K carbon face. Both product pages mention a weight and balance system. The clear difference in the specs is that only the Metalbone 2026 lists a balance in mm, at 265 mm.

**Is this a racket for intermediate players?**

The brand lists it as Professional level, and a video review recommends it for advanced attackers. A diamond shape with head-heavy balance asks for good technique. If you want more control and comfort, compare the round-shaped adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 2026, which reads High for both.

**What does the 11.2 g weight system do?**

The brand says it lets you adjust the racket's weight by a total of 11.2 g. The sheet does not say where the weights sit, so how much it shifts the balance is not published.

**Is it comfortable on the arm?**

The comfort meter reads Medium: the soft core helps, while the stiff carbon face and head-heavy balance work against it. No reviewer has played it yet, so if your arm is sensitive, change the weights in small steps.

**Is the Metalbone Pro Edt 2026 Ale Galán worth the money right now?**

Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours.

**Who should not buy it?**

Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 4.0/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (4.0/10).

**How heavy is it really?**

The brand gives 345 to 360 g. That counts as light. Each racket can differ within that range.
