Metalbone 14.5 (Polypropylene)
Elongated14.5mmGen-2Thermoformed
The Adidas Metalbone 14.5 (Polypropylene) is a 14.5 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Carbon Fiber face. It generates well above-average spin (78th percentile) with well above-average power and above-average pop. It has a light, maneuverable swing weight built for quick hands at the net, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
