Who this racket is for
The Adidas Metalbone Reserve EDT 2025 suits intermediate players who already have a technical base and want to progress without jumping to a too-demanding paddle. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The hard build favours explosive shots, especially bandeja and smash, but demands more technique. Its 360-370g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
