Our review and verdict for the Adidas Adipower Greenpadel after testing the racket is that this racket can be awesome for those who are still learning the techniques but who are at an intermediate level. As soon as you pick up the racket, you will feel the high quality of the racket. We recommend that you have gotten past the beginner stage as the racket is aimed at more intermediate level players.
As usual, the Adidas Adipower Greenpadel is developed and engineered with the absolute highest quality and thus comes with a relatively high price tag.

Material
The Adipower Greenpadel is a model in the eco-friendly class, which is why it has been given a hitting surface made of Flax Fiber material. This consists of 100% linen and its hardness is roughly between carbon fiber and fiberglass. A medium hard hitting surface and with the core Eva Soft Performance helps with the low loose balls. The frame and the parts of the racket that are particularly vulnerable have been reinforced with carbon fibre.
Balance
This racket has a medium balance that interacts well with a larger sweetspot, which is also at medium level. This gives you a better chance of getting controlled balls away with good power, even those balls that you may need to putt up from a low level.
Racket shape
The Adipower Greenpadel is round in shape and has been given a large sweetspot. These two features together make it easier to hit those really good balls. There’s a better chance of hitting strong balls with good accuracy.
Hard or soft?
With a hitting surface and a core that are medium hard, this racket becomes more of a soft racket. Which also makes this model more suitable for a defensive game. The reinforced carbon fiber frame provides more durability and some stiffness, which can be of some help for offensive play.
What level of player is Adidas Adipower Greenpadel suitable for?
The Adipower Greenpadel is best suited for players who are more at the intermediate level. For example, exercisers who want to get a little further in their game. The rounded shape with a large sweet spot provides good support to improve ball striking and to practice a certain technique. The medium balance and the rough surface can also help to train more offensive play.
Is the racket best suited for offensive or defensive play?
This green model is more useful for offensive play. With its rounded shape, medium balance and medium-hard hitting surface, it provides good support for getting controlled balls away. These characteristics are also useful when dealing with low balls, where hard characteristics are of little use.
