Metalbone 16 (Polypropylene)

Elongated16mmGen-2Thermoformed

The Adidas Metalbone 16 (Polypropylene) is a 16 mm elongated pickleball paddle with a thermoformed, Carbon Fiber face. It generates well above-average spin (66th percentile) with well above-average power and average pop. It has a heavier, head-leaning swing weight that favors power and plow-through over hand speed, but below-average twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a versatile all-court profile.
