Adidas Metalbone Team 3.4 2025 Limited Edition

Players who want a step up in offensive capability will find the Metalbone Team 3.4 attractive. It suits competitors who already have solid basics and want a racket that adds head-speed and extra punch on volleys and smashes without a brutally stiff impact.

Because the balance and weight range (360–375 g) keep handling accessible, it can also fit intermediate players moving toward more aggressive positioning. Avoid it if you need a purely control-oriented or ultra-light recreational option.

Power is the clear emphasis here. The diamond geometry and medium-high balance concentrate mass toward the head, producing the kind of inertia that helps accelerate the ball on overheads and attacking groundstrokes.

The racket’s game-type label is versatile, but the combination of shape and balance nudges play toward offense: expect easier access to attacking trajectories and stronger finishing shots, especially when you can generate good racket head speed.

Despite its attack leanings, the Metalbone Team 3.4’s 360–375 g range and medium-high balance keep swing weight in check. That makes it easier to recover and reposition after attacking shots compared with heavier, more head-heavy alternatives.

Control is reasonable for an attack-oriented diamond frame; you’ll want to rely on technique to tame pace in tight exchanges, but the racket’s handling still supports quicker volleys and responsive net play when you need it.

The Metalbone Team 3.4 uses a fiberglass face paired with an EVA Soft Performance core and a medium-soft hardness. Those materials provide a softer, more forgiving contact than stiffer carbon faces and firmer cores.

Practically, the fiberglass surface and soft core smooth out impacts and help maintain consistent ball trajectories on repeated power plays, contributing to the racket’s usable feel during extended sessions.

• Face material: Fiberglass
• Core: EVA Soft Performance
• Hardness: Medium-Soft
• Weight range: 360 g – 375 g
• Balance: Medium-High

On court the racket feels forgiving at impact thanks to the medium-soft core and fiberglass face; shots absorb some of the shock and deliver a comfortable feedback that encourages aggressive play without harsh vibration.

The head-weighted characteristic gives a noticeable push on smashes and overheads, so timing plays a big role—when timed well the racket rewards with explosive results, and when rushed it can feel slightly heavy through the recovery.
