Adidas 2025 Metalbone Ctrl as a newer player?
I am looking to buy my first racket and am mostly lost. I have been playing for about 3 months and am supposedly at the low intermediate level. I mostly play on the right side and am not much of a smasher, I much prefer volleys, defense, and lobbing.
I have only played with the rackets at my local club and they are all Adidas and have borrowed an unknown racket from a friend a few times. Currently been playing with the Metalbone Carbon non Ctrl which seems to work pretty well me as I like how light it is. I seem to do worse with the regular Metalbone.
I was drawn to the Metalbone Ctrl 3.4 2025 as its on sale, its light and might help with some shoulder fatigue, something I can grow into, and supposedly has a large sweet spot. Concerned about the supposedly more bouncyness of the racket.
I am a buy once (yes I know they wear out) cry once kind of person but is this just waaaaay too much of a racket?
