Adidas Metalbone ZZ Carbon | Zinedine Zidane | 2026

The adidas Metalbone ZZ Carbon 2026 is the padel racket from the collaboration between adidas and Zinedine Zidane, a special edition designed for advanced players who prioritise control and precision. Its round shape, medium balance and centred sweet spot make it highly manoeuvrable and reliable in defence, while the rigidity technologies from the Metalbone range provide the extra drive needed when it is time to attack. It comes in an exclusive white and champagne design from the ZZ collection, along with special packaging for the collaboration.

Control and precision in a round format

The round format places the sweet spot at the centre of the face, making off-centre shots more forgiving and helping you direct the ball precisely on the bandeja, wall shots or when building the point from the back of the court. The medium balance keeps the racket agile at the net and during fast exchanges, without the wrist demands of a diamond-shaped racket.

3K Carbon and Metalbone structure

The 3K carbon fibre faces, combined with a low-density EVA Soft Performance rubber core, deliver a comfortable feel with good ball output and precise response. The octagonal-section carbon tubular frame reduces torsion on impact, while the Low Poly design on the frame and bridge adds rigidity so the racket does not fall short on smashes. The Extra Power Grip, a longer handle, provides extra inertia on attacking shots.
