adidas, a global leader in athletic innovation, brings a game-changing update to its already groundbreaking paddle—the adidas METALBONE. This next-generation paddle takes performance to new heights, blending high-end materials with unmatched customization.
Innovation Like You’ve Never Seen Before. Built with exclusive adidas technology, the METALBONE lets you modify the weight and balance of your paddle to perfectly match your playing style. Whether you're chasing power, finesse, or a little of both, this paddle adapts on the fly.
What truly sets the adidas METALBONE apart from other pickleball paddles is its exclusive adjustable screw system. With four removable screws (2.6 grams each) and six available weight positions, you have the freedom to customize your paddle’s weight and balance in real time. Want more maneuverability? Keep the weights near the handle. Need added power? Shift the balance toward the head. This level of customization means your paddle evolves with your strategy—swing to swing.

adidas Metalbone Review
At first glance, the Metalbone is clearly one of the most unique and innovative paddles on the market. But don’t let its one-of-a-kind look distract you from its high level of playability. The latest evolution of the adidas METALBONE brings a whole new level of performance to the court. Known for pushing boundaries, adidas continues to lead in innovation with a paddle line that adapts to every type of pickleball player.
The METALBONE series now includes four distinct models, offering options for players who value touch and control as well as those who dominate with power. The 16mm METALBONE is engineered for players who prioritize feel and finesse, while the 14.5mm version delivers the pop and drive needed to finish off points with authority. Whether you're a seasoned competitor or an up-and-coming player looking to make a mark, there’s a METALBONE paddle designed for you.
Dreaming of competing on the big stage? The adidas METALBONE isn’t just built for recreation—it’s ready for the pros. Every model is approved by both USA Pickleball (USAP) and UPA-A, making it a reliable choice for serious players entering PPA Pro Tournaments and other sanctioned events.

Paddle Expert’s Thoughts on Metalbone
From the moment we picked up the updated adidas METALBONE, we knew it was something special. adidas continues to push boundaries in the world of pickleball paddles, and this latest version is proof that innovation pays off.
The carbon fiber face delivers the performance you’d expect—lightweight yet powerful, and consistently accurate. Ball speed, spin, and control all feel dialed in thanks to the enhanced Spin Blade Max surface and monocoque carbon frame. If Rafa can use it, we think it will do more than alright for us!
We also love the multiple different options for the METALBONE, including the METALBONE LP Team model. The only difference was the EVA Core and incredible price point.
