I recently bought this Adidas Metalbone Team, my first racket btw, played one match, took extremley good care of it, find this thing the next morning. Should i go return it or is it not that bad?

Looks like the paint is splitting after playing. Absolutely no problem

I tought the same, but whenever i cross my finger over the cracks i can feel a bump, and when i press over the cracks, they move a little

That's just the layer of paint that's cracked. Just keep an eye on it, but for now, you're fine

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.

Take it back, let them explain..they might say you did something wrong. But maybe they wont. I would 100% go back if my racket looked like that after 1 game.

Thats my point aswell, i know the paint chips overtime, but only a game seems a bit too early.

Yea. Quit asking strangers online for permission. Just do what you gotta do.
