Adidas Adipower padel rackets

What are the features of Adidas Adipower padel rackets? 

Since entering the world of padel, Adidas has quickly established itself as one of the most influential padel racket manufacturers. With its 2 flagship models, Metalbone and Adipower, the German company is a major player in padel worldwide. These 2 ranges represent the brand thanks in particular to 2 leading WPT players, Alejandro Ruiz and, above all, former world number 1 Alejandro Galan.

Here, we are focusing on the Adipower, and the least we can say is that it lives up to its name. The racket is powerful and, thanks to its numerous technologies, quite popular, especially among left-side players. However, several versions of the pala are available to suit as many players as possible. For the classic Adipower, you will find a 15k carbon frame that provides very high stiffness to the racket, offering unmatched power return. The chosen foam also follows this direction, as it is a fairly dense Eva foam, widely used for powerful rackets. Add to that the diamond shape which uses the racket's inertia to be devastating overhead, and you get one of the most powerful rackets on the market. Be careful though with control and especially playing comfort which are reduced, as injuries can occur more easily, particularly in the elbow. 

The racket also has several versions available in order to suit as many players as possible. Quite unique, the Adipower Light is also interesting: used by pro player Marta Ortega on the tour, it combines the stiffness of 15k carbon on the faces with a reduced weight between 345 and 360 grams. Finally, control is still prioritised on this pala with a round shape and low-density foam. Recommended for women, this racket can naturally be used by men as well. 

The Adipower also features a control version, where all the characteristics of the classic racket are present: 15k carbon, rigid Hard Eva foam, etc. However, as its name suggests, control is prioritised with a round shape that balances the weight towards the handle and offers greater manoeuvrability. But beware all the same: this pala is not recommended for everyone due to the stiffness of the frame combined with the foam.

Adidas Adipower padel rackets, what are the advantages? 

Adidas padel rackets also have sister models. Both the Adipower and the Adipower Control have alternative versions. First, there are the Team models, where the foam is replaced with low-density rubber and the carbon with fibreglass. The aim is to offer a high-performing racket for beginner or intermediate players. Then there are the multiweight versions. They have the same features as the standard versions, with weight mounts added to the sides and top of the racket. Weights can then be added to adjust the balance. Adding them at the top makes the racket more head-heavy and more effective in attack; using the side weights shifts the balance towards the handle for greater manoeuvrability. Ideal if you want to change your playing style or customise your racket as you wish. 

Another advantage of Adidas is its designs: understated yet colourful, they help you shine on court. You can also get the complete kit from the three-stripe brand with padel clothing and Adidas padel shoes to impress your opponents and teammates. 

How to look after your Adidas Adipower racket? 

To keep your Adipower in the best possible condition for as long as possible, it is essential to protect it properly. The best option is to use an Adidas padel bag, which is very handy for carrying all your padel gear wherever you go. We also recommend using the bags’ thermal compartments, specially designed to protect rackets from large temperature changes that can damage racket foams. It is also advisable to use padel balls in good condition to avoid damaging the racket and enjoy the best possible feel when playing. 

Are Adipower padel rackets suitable for all types of players? 

With all this range of racket types mentioned, it can be said that the Adipower range is aimed at the widest range of players with premium rackets for men and women, as well as rackets for beginners and intermediate players. Adidas has therefore succeeded with numerous ranges featuring many rackets, as well as all the accessories a padelero could ever need.
