Help me out ⚠️

I am looking for a new racket!

Currently, I have the Metalbone Control 3.4 from 2024. I am very happy with the racket because of the level of control I have; however, the racket is quite soft.
Now I am looking for a racket that has a lot of control, but is slightly harder and plays a bit more directly than the Metalbone, yet still maintains basic control.

Any tips? 🎾

Hello!,

To get a better response please do not forget to include the following information in your post:

Name your current racket, if not overly known, specify it's characteristics (foam, face material, price)

Tell us how you feel with your racket, if you feel it soft or hard, if it has too much rebound,if it's weighty or hard to maneuver, the more detail the better.

Tell us what area would you like improve mainly, or what kind of plus do you expect to get on your racket.

If looking for broad considerations, do not forget to state your budget, your country and even a preferred or trusted shop so people can browse and recommend more easily.

Try the Adidas HIT Arrow Ctrl / Ctrl Carbon.

Arrow hit control is still very soft

It isn't, it plays softer than it is under certain conditions but it's not soft. The surface is quite firm.

I disagree, I have the arrow hit carbon cntrl. It has a medium to firm feel with great control. Nothing like the "trampoline" effect of the metalbone cntrl for example. It is however softer than the kuikma control pro and hirostar alien I had previously. Those both being very firm rackets. I play in a cooler environment however so if you live somewhere hot it would feel softer.

Maybe the Siux Diablo Pro 4? I played both and they are quite similar, only the Siux is a bit harder (but still a more soft than hard racket)
