The Metalbone Team 2026 makes the Metalbone brand accessible at EUR 200 - carbon fiber face, EVA core, teardrop shape. This is the entry point to Metalbone construction for developing players.
The Team designation means it is built for aspiring players rather than pros. The carbon face gives genuine punch and the teardrop shape keeps it versatile. It is not as stiff as the flagship, which actually makes it more suitable for a wider range of players.
At EUR 200 it competes with the Babolat Counter Veron 2.5 and the Wilson Bela V3. The Adidas has the best brand presence of that group, competitive performance, and good value at this price.
A solid choice for intermediate players who want to train with a higher-level frame without the full cost.
Who it's for
