Mystery solved! A few days ago, we reported on the new rackets being used by Ale Galán and Marta Ortega at the Mexico Major, and now adidas has officially unveiled its new 2026 collection of padel rackets and padel bags, one of the brand’s most ambitious and innovative ventures to date.
The new collection consists of 28 completely revamped models, new technologies never before seen in its catalog, and an international launch campaign, reaffirming the brand’s leading role in the development and professionalization of padel globally.
A campaign led by Ale Galán
The presentation of the adidas 2026 padel collection is accompanied by a powerful communication campaign led by Ale Galán, the brand’s flagship player. His figure represents the values that define this collection: power, performance, evolution, and competitiveness.

Galán, who officially debuted the Metalbone 2026 in Acapulco, also becomes the main face of the audiovisual campaign that the brand has rolled out on its global channels.
The new Metalbone 2026 is designed for players who demand maximum power. It incorporates the Weight & Balance Metalbone system, which allows you to customize the weight and balance of the racket, as well as a new sliding string system, which improves grip and ergonomics at the wrist.
Its Diamond shape, long grip, 16K aluminized carbon composition, and Low Poly structure reinforce rigidity and impact, offering outstanding performance on offensive shots.
Martita Ortega debuts the Cross It Light 2026
The collection maintains its commitment to women’s competition with the new Cross It Light, the racket that Martita Ortega will use next season. Designed for players looking for lightness, agility, and control without sacrificing power.
This model incorporates advanced technical solutions, with Dynamic Air Flow technology, a system that reduces air resistance and speeds up the racket’s mobility. It has a round shape and extended grip, which provide precise control in all game situations.
The rubber is EVA Soft Energy for greater ball output, and it features 24K aluminized carbon and Spin Blade Mold technology, which improve rigidity, durability, and spin generation.
A combination geared towards professional performance with the elegant and technical hallmark that characterizes Ortega.
Arrow_Hit: the great innovation of 2026
The main surprise of the new collection is the introduction of the new Arrow_Hit family, a project that marks a qualitative leap for adidas in its commitment to precision and customization.
This range incorporates two technologies that are new to the brand’s catalog:
- IBS – Intelligent Balance System: A system of adjustable weights located on the edge of the racket, allowing the balance to be adjusted to the player’s preferences. This is the first time that adidas has integrated such a versatile and configurable system, opening the door to extreme performance customization.
- ASC – adidas Signature Carbon: An exclusive carbon fiber with a pattern that draws the adidas logos across the entire surface of the racket. In addition to providing a totally distinctive aesthetic, it optimizes reactivity and improves response on every impact.
These innovations make the Arrow_Hit range one of the most outstanding technological offerings in the entire collection.
A collection of 28 rackets, the most complete to date
With a total of 28 models, the 2026 collection is one of the most extensive and diverse on the market. adidas seeks to cater to all profiles: from new players who are just discovering the sport to professionals competing at the highest level.
Each range maintains the balance between power, control, maneuverability, and design that has defined the brand in recent years, but incorporates advanced materials, structures, and technical details to improve durability and performance.
Availability
The new collection is now available for viewing at allforpadel.com, where players can discover each model in depth, explore its features, and find the racket that best suits their playing style.
With this launch, adidas reaffirms its leadership in innovation and returns to the forefront of world padel, setting the technological path for the 2026 season.
