The Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 is the evolution of Ale Galán's signature limited edition — upgraded, lighter, and more refined than its 2025 predecessor, and the power anchor of the PRO EDT 2026 collection alongside Marta Ortega's Cross IT and Ari Sánchez's Arrow Hit. The 2026 edition upgrades the face from 12K to 16K Carbon for more explosive responsiveness, softens the core from hard Power EVA to EVA Soft Performance for greater comfort across full sessions, and reduces overall weight to 345–360g — making "King Arturo"'s pro racket simultaneously more powerful, more comfortable, and more maneuverable than ever before. Produced in limited numbers, delivered in exclusive presentation packaging, and carrying Galán's signature and crown — this is the definitive expression of his attacking philosophy in the 2026 season.

Designed for total offensive dominance

The Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 is built for one purpose: finishing points with authority. Its oversized diamond shape pushes the sweet spot high in the head for devastating overheads, viboras, and net kills. The high head-heavy balance generates maximum swing mass on every attack. The upgraded 16K Carbon face converts that swing speed into explosive ball output with pinpoint precision. And the Custom Weight system allows you to adjust total weight and balance to match your exact game style — adding plates to the top for maximum smash power, or redistributing for more maneuverability at the net. This is not a racket for all-court versatility. It is a racket for players who want to attack, finish, and win points decisively.

Technologies

• Carbon Aluminized 16K face — an upgrade from the 12K carbon of the 2025 Pro EDT, the 16K weave delivers greater face stiffness, explosive responsiveness, and superior ball output on every attacking contact. The highest-density carbon face Adidas produces for the Metalbone range.
• EVA Soft Performance core — a deliberate softening from the hard Power EVA of the 2025 edition. The Soft Performance core maintains excellent power output while improving comfort, vibration absorption, and arm-friendliness across long sessions. The 2026 Metalbone Pro EDT is more forgiving and sustainable than its predecessor without sacrificing a single watt of attacking capability.
• Custom Weight system — an adjustable weight system that allows full customisation of balance and total weight using interchangeable plates, washers, and screws. Configure the racket for maximum head mass and smash power, or lower the balance for faster net movement. The complete set of accessories ships with the racket.
• Octagonal Structure — an eight-sided carbon frame cross-section that maximises torsional rigidity. Significantly reduces frame flex on powerful off-centre contacts, keeping shots stable and consistent under explosive hitting.
• Low Poly design — a polyhedral geometric construction applied to both frame and core that increases structural solidity through geometry, maximising power transfer without adding excess weight.
• Power Groove — a structural reinforcement channel in the upper frame that increases rigidity and maximises energy transfer on smashes and overhead contacts.
• Extra Power Grip — an extended handle that increases inertia and leverage, delivering more power on overheads, bandejas, and viboras with less effort.
• Spin Blade Decal — a rough 3D surface treatment for enhanced ball grip, generating heavy spin on attacking volleys and slice shots.
• Smart Holes Curve — a curved hole distribution optimised for the diamond shape, improving overall aerodynamics and maneuverability despite the head-heavy configuration.

2026 vs 2025 — what improved

The Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 used a 12K carbon face and a hard Power EVA core — an extremely demanding setup that rewarded clean technique with maximum power. The 2026 edition upgrades to a 16K carbon face for even more explosive output, softens the core to EVA Soft Performance for significantly better comfort and arm-friendliness, and reduces weight by approximately 10–15g. The result is a racket that is objectively more powerful and more comfortable than the 2025 edition, making Galán's pro specification more accessible to advanced players without compromising the ceiling of performance.

The PRO EDT 2026 collection

The Metalbone Pro EDT 2026 is the power anchor of Adidas' most exclusive annual release — a three-racket limited edition collection representing the pro specifications of their three signature players. Ale Galán's Metalbone Pro EDT brings raw power. Marta Ortega's Cross IT Pro EDT brings control and fluidity. Ari Sánchez's Arrow Hit Pro EDT brings customisable versatility. Each ships in exclusive presentation packaging, produced in limited numbers worldwide. The Padel Market is one of the very few South African retailers with access to all three. See the Cross IT Pro EDT 2026 and the Arrow Hit Pro EDT 2026 to complete the collection.

The Ale Galán connection

Alejandro "King Arturo" Galán is the most dominant left-side attacker padel has produced — a multiple-time World No.1 who plays with a ruthless, explosive, front-of-court style that the Metalbone was built around. The Pro EDT 2026 is his exact pro specification for the season: the same diamond shape, the same power-forward philosophy, and the same attacking DNA he brings to every match on the professional circuit. His crown logo and signature are on the frame. His game is in every shot.
