About the Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2025

The Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 is Adidas' most exclusive padel racket of the year — a limited edition built to the exact specifications Alejandro Galán uses on the professional circuit, finished in an exclusive silver and black Mercury-inspired design that makes it one of the most distinctive frames ever produced for the consumer market. "EDT" stands for Edition — this is not a standard production model. It was made in limited numbers, ships in exclusive collector packaging, and incorporates every top-tier Metalbone technology in a frame that is simultaneously a pro weapon and a collector's piece. This is Galán's tribute racket, and it shows in every detail.

The Mercury story

The Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 draws its identity from the planet Mercury — associated with the day of Galán's birth — representing the speed, energy, and precision that define his game. The engravings and graphics across the frame surface trace his origins, his titles, and the aggressive left-side style that took him to World No.1. This is a racket with a story built into the carbon.

Technologies

• Carbon Aluminized 16K face — a premium 16K aluminised carbon weave delivering maximum stiffness, explosive responsiveness, and outstanding durability. Among the most powerful face materials in the 2025 padel market.
• EVA Soft Performance core — a soft-to-medium EVA rubber core that delivers explosive ball output on power shots while providing comfort and vibration absorption on all contacts. Makes this racket significantly more playable than a fully hard core despite its pro-level power.
• Weight & Balance System — the signature Metalbone customisation system. Adjust total weight by up to 11.2g using the included plates (1.8g), washers (0.6g), screws (1.3g) and Allen key. Configure for maximum smash power with plates up top, or lower the balance for more control and maneuverability. All accessories included with this listing.
• Octagonal Structure — an eight-sided carbon tube frame cross-section that significantly increases torsional rigidity over a round tube, delivering more consistent power transfer and stability on off-centre contacts.
• Low Poly design — a polyhedral shape applied to both the frame and core increases structural rigidity through geometry rather than just material thickness, maximising power output without adding weight.
• Power Groove — a structural rail integrated into the top of the frame that reinforces the upper section for explosive power delivery on overheads and smashes.
• Spin Blade Low Poly — a 3D relief texture on the carbon face with a Low Poly pattern that grips the ball and generates heavy spin on vibroras, slice bandejas, and topspin drives.
• Extra Power Grip — an extended handle that increases leverage and inertia on power shots, improving both comfort and energy transfer on overheads and two-handed volleys.
• Smart Holes Curve — a curved hole arrangement that optimises maneuverability and enhances control on reactive net play and directional shots.

Why the original box matters

For a standard racket, the box is packaging. For a limited edition, the box is part of the product. The Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 ships in exclusive collector packaging that forms part of the "Mercury tribute" experience Adidas designed around this racket. Most pre-owned EDT rackets come without it. This one doesn't. For a buyer who cares about owning the complete edition — not just the racket — this is the listing you've been looking for.

Why buy this pre-owned racket?

The Adidas Metalbone Pro EDT 2025 retails at a significant premium — it is Adidas' flagship limited edition and was produced in restricted numbers. This pre-owned unit has been used briefly, is in excellent condition, and comes with every original accessory intact including the exclusive box. There is no more complete way to own this racket short of finding a sealed new unit — which at this stage is extremely rare. For a South African player wanting Galán's signature limited edition at a meaningful discount, this is the best opportunity available. Available for immediate nationwide delivery from The Padel Market.
