adidas questions, answered
Who makes adidas padel rackets?
All For Padel, a Spanish company, designs, makes and distributes adidas padel rackets under an exclusive worldwide licence. The arrangement has been in place since adidas entered padel in 2014.
What is the difference between Metalbone, Arrow Hit and Cross It?
Metalbone is the power line for attacking players. Arrow Hit, new for 2026, is built for versatility and control. Cross It has a round shape for precision and comfort, and is the gentlest of the three on the arm.

The Adipower is not part of the 2026 range. The Arrow Hit is the closest replacement.
Which pros use adidas?
Ale Galán, Ari Sánchez and Martita Ortega are the headline names in 2026. Álex Ruiz left the brand in January 2026.
