Adult Padel Racket Adipower Ctrl Team 3.3

Who is this racket for?

The Adipower Ctrl Team 3.3 from Adidas is recommended for intermediate players who have good technique and want to control the court with a more precise, forgiving racket.

Comfortable upon impact, while remaining easy to handle, thanks to its low weight. Once tamed, this version will make you a highly effective defensive player.

Weight: 360-375 g

The weight is measured in grammes. Just like the balance point, it impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.

Balance: Medium

This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle.

The larger the number (high balance), the more power and stability you'll get from the racket and the heavier it will feel (even if it's not a heavy racket). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (low balance), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.

External material: Fibreglass

Fibreglass is the most flexible option for the external material. The more flexible the fibre, the easier the ball will come off the racket and the more comfortable the shot. With a less flexible fibre (such as carbon), we can get more power into the racket.

Internal material: Soft EVA Performance

The low-density Soft Performance EVA foam enhances the ball's rebound (ball exit) and offers an incredible feel on impact. The black cap identifies Adidas rackets with Soft Performance foam.

Dual Exoskeleton technology

Double-height carbon ribs built into the heart of the racket to harness power on every shot.

Power Embossed Ridge

External carbon ribs on the frame to optimise structural rigidity and offer great robustness.

Spin Blade Decal technology

A rough racket surface that helps you easily give the ball all sorts of spins and optimises your ball feel.

Structural Reinforcement technology

Reinforcements along the outer edge of the frame to increase rigidity and robustness.

Smart Holes Curve technology

Holes laid out in a curve to optimise spin on impact.
