Need decent biomechanical weight transfer and technique on groundstrokes and volley. hard to use for defending from back glass. Need some kind of confident hit & good technique on every ball to give decent pace and heavy ball due to dry feel from hard EVA foam. Definitely not for beginner & intermediate players who lacks on technique like me who rellies on soft rebound core to help add the pace and depth to the ball on attacking volley & blocking and groundstrokes. Best to pick the lightest base weight from the shelves because the default racquet protector and overgrips also add weight and you could fine tune the balance & static weight with the WBS which is one of the ADIDAS Metalbone main selling point. the build quality feel solid, premium and consistent with perfectly drilled hole. it is worth the price.

firm and balance transfer when doing vibora, the softness of the foam give slight of trampoline effect. perfect for compact form, blocking and redirecting pace of the shot for intermediate player who still lacks of mechanical weight transfer and technique, this racquet helps. but the build quality seems brittle, better let the 50/50 ball or lobs that ended bouncing close to the glass. bet you dont want to crack the racquet and went buy another one. and ummm mind the static weight better pick the lightest one from the shelves because you need to take into account installing frame protector and keep the racquet static weight below 370gr and adjusting the changes on the balance to the more head heavy. (overgrip add 5-6gr and TPU protector adds around 7gr).
