Adidas Metalbone ZZ Team | Zinedine Zidane | 2026
The adidas Metalbone ZZ Team 2026 is the more accessible version of the ZZ collection created with Zinedine Zidane: a round padel racket with mid balance and a centred sweet spot, designed for advanced players seeking comfort, control and good ball output. It combines a carbon fibre frame, fibreglass faces and an EVA Soft Performance core, with a matte black and gold design.
Soft feel and ball output
The fibreglass faces and low-density EVA Soft Performance rubber provide a soft, comfortable feel with easy ball output that does not require maximum acceleration on every shot. This is particularly noticeable on blocks, volleys and defensive shots, helping you maintain great sensations during long matches.
Metalbone range stability and control
The round shape positions the sweet spot in the centre, making it easier to place the ball accurately from the back of the court. The octagonal-section carbon tubular frame and Low Poly design deliver rigidity and stability on impact, while the Extra Power Grip adds inertia when it is time to attack. The rough Spin Blade Gritt surface grips the ball on slice and topspin shots.
ADIDAS technologies
Octagonal Structure: Carbon tubular frame with an octagonal section that reduces twisting and improves precision.
Low Poly: Polyhedral design of the frame and bridge that increases structural rigidity.
Extra Power Grip: Longer handle that increases inertia and shot power.
Spin Blade Gritt: Rough finish across the entire surface that improves ball grip and spin.
Smart Holes Curve: Curved hole distribution for a consistent response across the surface.
Structural Reinforcement: Structural reinforcements that increase racket durability.
