2022 Ale Galán Padel Racket Analysis: Adidas Metalbone 3.1

Power racket for professionals

The Metalbone series of rackets has been created for power. Its greatest quality is its aggressive behavior, for those players who are always looking for the net, making their presence felt to finish a point. In fact, we have seen Galán execute powerful volleys countless times, sending the ball out of the court. This is the preferred behavior of the racket, for a fast, aggressive game that focuses on attack. However, the racket has a special detail, which we will see a little later, that also gives it phenomenal control. Regarding the playing level, the 2022 Ale Galán racket is recommended for experienced players. Specifically, it is perfect for advanced and professional level players. It belongs to the brand's Pro range.

100% carbon construction

The new Metalbone has a 100% aluminized carbon construction. Carbon is used for the composition of the frame and faces, but it has an aluminum layer to take resistance to the maximum level. Carbon gives the racket that hard feel that an attacking player expects in a power racket, as well as greater wear resistance. Galán's Metalbone 3.1 features a technology called Octagonal Structure, which was also present in the 2021 edition. It is a structural technology that seeks to strengthen the racket to make it more resistant, firm, and solid. In addition, this technology also positively influences power.

Soft-touch core

The core is one of the most indispensable parts of this racket; in fact, it is the part that makes it different from the rest of the weapons in the Pro range. The 2022 Ale Galán racket has Eva Soft Performance, the softest rubber in the entire collection. This rubber is generally chosen for the collection's control rackets, regardless of the range it belongs to. But this is what makes the Metalbone special: it is a professional power racket, but it does not have the hard rubber of most attack rackets. In addition, this rubber is great for better control, greater vibration absorption, and a more comfortable hit.

Additional technologies of the 2022 Ale Galán padel racket

With all the features we have mentioned, the Metalbone 3.1 is already one of the most outstanding rackets of the year, but it has other qualities that make it even more impressive. The racket boasts the new Weight & Balance technology. This is a system that allows adding more weight to the racket, with a maximum of 12 grams, to modify its power and balance. This can be done by means of heavy pieces that can be incorporated into the structure. Additionally, the racket features Spin Blade, one of its most famous technologies. It is the rough and embossed texture of the face, so that the ball has a more pronounced spin.

Features of the Adidas Metalbone HRD 3.1

This version arrives to be, from Ale Galán, one of the champion rackets of the 2021 season. As can be seen from its name, this version carries the letters "HRD," which refer to the word "Hard." This indicates that it is a harder-touch version of Galán's Metalbone. In fact, that is the only difference: its Eva High Memory core. This is the rubber found in the Adipower series rackets. Unlike the Eva Soft Performance in the Metalbone 3.1, it has a higher density, resulting in a stiffer, drier hit with less ball output, but with more power. Otherwise, the racket shares all the technologies and materials of the standard version. It has a diamond shape, high balance, and a 100% aluminized carbon construction. In addition, it also incorporates the famous Octagonal Structure, Weight & Balance technologies, and the rough Spin Blade surfaces.
