How Does the Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.2 perform?
The Metalbone CTRL 3.2 is the same as the Metalbone 3.2 with a round shape, which gives it the same great handling while increasing the size of the sweet spot and bringing the balance slightly lower.
This also results in a lower power rating than the other Metalbone models, which are very high, so don't expect a weak racket by any means.
All of the Adidas Metalbone models have a relatively short and narrow handle at 12cm long and come with a small plastic tote bag.
Our reviewers found this year's Metalbones' Spin Blade roughness to deliver less spin than previous years'.

Expert Reviews of the Adidas Metalbone CTRL 3.2
This is the round version of the Metalbone 3.2, which gives a larger sweet spot, which allows for a comfortable, easy playing style, but a loss of control and power. It suits right-side intermediate players. We find the grip and very small and uncomfortable.
It’s not a cannon - this is the least powerful of the Metalbones
Maneuverability feels the same as the other Metalbones. Even in difficult situations, the racket is easy to handle.
Recommended for a right-side player looking for control and comfort more than power
This has the largest sweet spot of the Metalbones due to its round shape. It is located more in the center compared with the others
Good for right side players who aim to labor the point
It felt weak compared with its sisters

Lobs come out easily really deep.
