Performance Overview
The Metalbone Carbon is designed to deliver attacking punch without surrendering control, so it works across all phases of the game. Its frame technologies work together to reduce torsion and increase energy transfer on every swing, Spin Blade Decal and Smart Holes Curve turn grip and spin into reliable, repeatable shots, and the 2026 rope cord helps you keep an aggressive rhythm through long matches. The sturdy construction dampens vibration for a smoother feel, helping sharper drops and deeper drives while keeping control at the net and in defence.
