Adidas Adipower padel rackets

What are the features of Adidas Adipower padel rackets? 

From their very entry into the padel world, Adidas quickly established itself as one of the most influential padel racket manufacturers. With their 2 flagship models, the Metalbone and the Adipower, the German brand is a major player in world padel. These 2 ranges represent the brand notably thanks to 2 flagship WPT players, Alejandro Ruiz and especially 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. The Adipower and the Adipower Control both have alternative models. First of all, Team models where the foam is replaced by a low-density rubber and the carbon by fibreglass. The goal here is to offer a high-performance racket to beginner or intermediate players. But the other interesting versions are the multiweight models. Sharing the same features as the base versions, weight holders are added on the side and top of the racket. Weights can then be added to adjust the balance. At the top, the pala will be more head-heavy and perform better offensively; if you use the side weights, the balance will shift closer to the handle for greater manoeuvrability. Ideal if you want to switch your play style or customise your racket just the way you like.

One of the advantages of the brand Adidas is also its designs, understated yet colourful, allowing you to shine on the court. You can also get the 3-stripes brand's full line-up with padel outfits or even Adidas padel shoes to impress your opponents and teammates. 

How to look after your Adidas Adipower racket? 

In order to look after your Adipower as well as possible, it is essential to protect it properly to keep it as intact as possible. The best solution is therefore to use an Adidas padel bag, very practical for carrying all your padel gear in any circumstances. It is also recommended to use the bags' thermal pockets specially designed to protect the rackets from excessive temperature variations which are devastating for the racket foams. It is also advisable to use padel balls in good condition, so as not to damage the racket and to enjoy the best possible playing feel. 

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.
