Adidas Metalbone Team

Adidas Metalbone Team

The accessible build of the Metalbone line, listed by adidas for 2026 with a soft EVA core and an intermediate specification. It is the way into the family at the lowest price, and the entry to read carefully, because the Team is not simply a cheaper version of the racket above it.

About the Adidas Metalbone Team

Team is adidas's word for the accessible build in a family, and on the Metalbone it does what the name suggests: a soft EVA core, a single-layer construction and a specification aimed at an intermediate player rather than a competitor. It is the least demanding way into the line and priced accordingly.

What is worth being careful about is assuming it inherits the rest of the family's geometry. Elsewhere in the Metalbone range that assumption breaks — the Team Light, despite the shared name, is a round frame with a fibreglass face rather than the carbon diamond the line is known for. Published specifications for the Team itself are thin, and the two builds are not safe to treat as one racket, so this page does not state a shape or a balance for it. The honest position is that the core, the construction and the level are established and the geometry is not.

For a buyer that means one thing in practice: check the frame in hand or the seller's own specification before assuming you are getting a diamond. If the diamond mold is what you want from a Metalbone, the Superlight is the build that keeps it at an accessible weight.

Questions about the Adidas Metalbone Team

Is the Metalbone Team a diamond racket like the rest of the family?

That is not established. adidas publishes little on this build specifically, and the Team Light beside it is round with a fibreglass face rather than a carbon diamond, so inheriting the family geometry would be a guess. Check the seller’s specification before assuming.

What does Team mean on an adidas racket?

It is adidas’s word for the accessible build in a family — softer, simpler in construction and priced below the competition frames. The word is consistent across ranges, which is what makes the specifications readable, but it describes the positioning rather than the mold.

Who is the Metalbone Team for?

Intermediate players who want into the Metalbone line without a competition frame’s demands or price. The soft EVA core and single-layer construction make it forgiving relative to the rest of the family.

Is the Team the same racket as the Team Light?

No, and this is the trap on this page. The Team Light is a round mold with a fibreglass face and a medium balance — a genuine control racket. The Team is a separate build and its geometry is not documented well enough to assume they match.

What should I buy if I want a Metalbone diamond at a lower price?

The Superlight. It keeps the diamond mold and the head-heavy balance of the line in a lighter frame at an intermediate specification, which is the combination the Team cannot be confirmed to offer.
