Adidas Metalbone Youth
The Youth build of the Adidas Metalbone. A teardrop head with a low balance, which keeps it quick to move and easy to recover with at the net. It is a control frame at beginner level. Read the build word before the model year when comparing two Metalbone listings: the year moves every season while the build word is what actually changes the racket.

About the Adidas Metalbone Youth
The head is a teardrop, which keeps a usable sweet spot while still carrying weight towards the tip, so it works at both ends of the court. The balance is low, so the racket stays easy to move through a long match. The face is soft, which widens the margin on off-centre contact. The core is EVA. Within the Adidas Metalbone, Youth is the build word that separates this racket from its siblings; a model year on a listing describes the season it was sold in rather than where it sits in the range. The Metalbone is adidas's headline power line and Ale Galan's racket.
