Adidas

All For Padel is the official worldwide Adidas licensee for padel. Based in Madrid, the company designs, manufactures, and markets the full adidas padel line including rackets, accessories, and courts, operating the official store at allforpadel.com. All For Padel has installed over 3,000 adidas-branded courts across 48 countries and in 2024 launched LOK Padel, a separate brand targeting younger players.

The 2026 collection divides into three families. Metalbone is the flagship power line associated with Ale Galan, built around Carbon Aluminized 16K faces, EVA Soft Performance or High Memory EVA cores, and a handle-mounted Weight and Balance System for swing weight adjustment. Cross-It covers the lightweight tier, using Carbon Aluminized 24K or 15K faces, EVA Soft Energy cores, and Dynamic Air Flow holes for faster swing speed. Arrow Hit uses ASC (Adidas Signature Carbon) faces on its Carbon models, EVA Soft Performance cores, and the Intelligent Balance System, which mounts adjustable weights along the frame's perimeter rails.

The two balance customization systems are the most distinctive feature of the lineup. Metalbone's Weight and Balance System adds screw-in weights to the handle. Arrow Hit's Intelligent Balance System positions weights on the frame edge, allowing shifts of up to 9 grams to move balance toward power or control. Surface texture comes in three Spin Blade formats: Decal (a surface layer), Mould (a 3D relief integrated into the mold), and Gritt (a third abrasive variant). The 11 Thirteen hole pattern on the Cross-It Light uses two hole diameters, with smaller central holes for rigidity and larger outer holes for ball exit and durability.

Adidas CrossIT vs Metalbone vs Arrow Hit

Every Adidas series has a control model and an attack model, so picking "control" does not pick a series. The real decision is upstream: CrossIT for forgiveness, Metalbone for a hard-attacking ceiling, Arrow Hit for continuous balance tuning. Here is what actually separates the three, how each plays on court, where Arrow Hit leaves Adipower, and how to pick the series before you get to the variant.

Padel Racket Face Materials, Translated

Spec sheets throw fiberglass, 3K, 12K, 18K carbon, Fibrix, TeXtreme, Carbon Aluminized 16K, Graphene 360, and Glaphite at you as if each were a distinct material. They are not. There are two real face polymers, one dominant grade axis, a small set of surface treatments, and a lot of brand vocabulary. Here is what actually differs between padel racket faces, what is a wrapper on the same thing, and what any of it changes once the ball hits the string bed you do not have.

What Padel Racket Foam Names Actually Mean

Padel spec sheets throw EVA, MultiEVA, HR3, X-EVA, Power Foam, Soft Performance EVA, and plain FOAM at you as if each were a distinct material. They are not. There are two real polymer families, a handful of density grades, three construction patterns, and a lot of brand names sitting on top. Here is what actually differs between padel racket cores, what is a marketing wrapper on the same thing, and what any of it means once the ball hits the face.

Technologies

Carbon Face

Carbon 16K

16,000-filament carbon weave used on the Metalbone line. Produces a stiff, direct face response suited to attacking players looking for maximum ball exit speed.

Aluminized Carbon 6K

Carbon weave with an aluminized coating used on mid-tier Metalbone models. Controls power output while adding rigidity compared to standard 6K.

Core Foam

High Memory EVA

Dense, high-rebound EVA rubber used in HRD variants. Greater hardness than the standard EVA Soft compound, giving more exit speed and firmness on overhead contact.

EVA Soft Performance

Softer EVA compound used across the Adipower range. Balances comfort with ball output for players who want touch alongside power.

Surface

Spin Blade

Textured face system available in three variants: Mold, Decal, and Gritt. Each adds physical roughness to the hitting surface to increase friction for topspin and slice.

Frame

Smart Holes Curve

Curved hole distribution pattern across the face. The arc layout redirects air during the swing and improves contact consistency across the hitting zone.

Octagonal Structure

Eight-sided frame cross-section used on the Metalbone series. Greater rigidity at the lateral rails than a standard oval cross-section, improving stability on off-center hits.

Other

Weight & Balance System

Adjustable weighting system allowing up to 11.2 g of tunable mass. Players can shift balance toward the head for power or toward the grip for maneuverability.
