Adidas 2020 Rackets - New

Below we detail the rackets of the 2020 season.

Adidas Adipower Soft 2.0 - Ale Galán's racket

It is a high-balance racket, therefore it is a power racket with a soft core that allows for a greater feel for the ball with each stroke. It incorporates dual exoskeleton and power embossed ridge technologies, which together form what is known as structural reinforcement. The face of the racket has an embossed finish to provide greater control in each stroke, making this racket a hybrid between power and control. Aesthetically, it maintains the red color of 2019; the only variations are the carbon intertwining, which is diagonal this year, and the gold top of the handle.

Adidas Adipower Light 2.0 - Martita Ortega's racket

This high-end Adidas racket is designed for players who play on the drive side. The racket has a low balance and a centered and wide sweet spot that allows for greater control, and a soft EVA rubber core that provides good ball exit but sacrifices a bit of hitting power in an aggressive game. Like all rackets in the ADIPOWER range, it features Spin Blade's embossed technology and the frame's robustness with the dual exoskeleton and power embossed ridge systems, which allow it to respond when finishing. The racket's weight ranges from 345 to 365 grams. It's worth noting that aesthetically, very soft colors have been used, giving it a vintage style.

Adidas Adipower Control 2.0 - Álex Ruiz's racket

It also has the Spin Blade embossing, which helps when cutting the ball and adding spin or making lobs. Aesthetically, it maintains the orange color of 2019, but with the carbon weave of the face in two shades of grey and black, like a chessboard. It has a rough protector on the top to protect it from bumps and scratches against the ground, glass, or fence.

Adidas Adipower 2.0 - Seba Nerone's padel racket

It is practically the same racket as Ale Galán's soft version, what varies is the hardness of the core. This racket is harder, making it ideal for a medium-advanced level player who likes to play on the backhand, due to its high and reduced sweet spot. The racket's weight ranges between 360 and 375 grams, a good weight for an attacking racket, taking into account that the transparent rough protector included in all ADIPOWER range rackets is part of the weight.

Adidas Carbon Ctrl 2.0

It's a round racket with a low balance, a centered and wide sweet spot, and curved embossing. This allows for greater control in each stroke.

Adidas Essnova Carbon 2.0

This is a racket for intermediate-advanced players who like power but do not neglect control.

Adidas Essnova Ctrl 2.0

It's in line with the Vs; it's a versatile racket where power predominates over control. It has a medium-high sweet spot, the racket's balance is medium, it has a medium-hardness rubber, a carbon frame, and a fiberglass face. All of this makes the V7 a well-balanced racket with a modern design.
