Does the Adidas Arrow Hit come strung?

No, the Arrow Hit is sold unstrung. Padel racquets have a pre-drilled string hole pattern; most players have them strung by a local pro shop at 24–26 kg tension.

What is the difference between Arrow Hit and Arrow Hit CTRL?

The Arrow Hit (ATTK) has a diamond shape and head-heavy balance for attacking play. The CTRL has a round shape and more neutral balance, prioritising control and a larger sweet spot.

How does the Intelligent Balance System work?

Two 9g weights sit in rails on each side of the frame. Use the included Allen key to slide each weight toward the head (more power) or handle (more control), then tighten to lock in place.

Is the Arrow Hit suitable for a beginner?

Not recommended. The diamond shape has a smaller sweet spot that punishes off-centre hits. Beginners are better served by a round or teardrop frame until they develop consistent ball-striking.

How does the Arrow Hit compare to the Metalbone?

The Metalbone is stiffer and more demanding, targeting professionals and elite amateurs. The Arrow Hit has a softer EVA core and the IBS system, making it more forgiving and versatile for advanced club players.

What string tension should I use?

Adidas recommends 24–26 kg for padel racquets. Lower tension (24 kg) gives more power and comfort; higher tension (26 kg) gives more control and precision.

Is there a bag or cover included?

A protective cover is typically included, but a dedicated padel bag is sold separately. Adidas padel bags are commonly paired with this racquet.
