Performance Overview
Built for attacking players, the Metalbone 2026 blends power with careful balance: the Weight & Balance System lets you tailor the feel, while the diamond profile and head-heavy geometry place the sweet spot where it matters for smashes and aggressive drives. The Octagonal Structure and Low Poly design reduce torsion and add stiffness for a very stable frame, the 16K surface and Soft Performance EVA core give responsive energy transfer and comfort over long sessions, and Spin Blade Decal and Smart Holes Curve fine-tune spin and touch. You get more power without losing control, fewer mis-hits on fast exchanges and overheads, and consistent impact response shot after shot.
Who Is It For?
Advanced attacking players who want pro-level feel, personalised balance and maximum pace with control.
