Adidas Adipower Multiweight 3.3

Technologies

Pros

• ✓The Weight & Balance System Multiweight adds up to 9 g via six or seven throat screws, so you can load the racket up for smashing or strip it down when your wrist needs more speed The Carbon Aluminized 18K face over the EVA High Memory core sends back a dry, piercing ball on the smash down the 3 line and on the crosscourt vibora, with no flex robbing you of direction The sandy surface and Spin Blade Decal grip the ball on liftado and kick spin, helping you pop a high bounce off the serve Dual Exoskeleton and Power Embossed Ridge keep the frame locked in on off-centre hits toward the head: a cut bandeja doesn't wobble even with a fully extended arm The diamond mould with a 460 cm² hitting surface stacks the sweet spot up top and rewards a flat smash aimed at the back glass or the exit through 4

Cons

• ✗The sweet spot is small and sits high: a ball that catches near the bottom of the stringbed on a tight wall exit comes out short and with noticeable vibration With EVA High Memory this firm and 355-365 g on the scale, this padel racket gives nothing away for free; ease off the pace or play with a niggling arm and your lob dies mid-court The head-heavy balance forces early preparation on fast volleys at your feet; get caught even slightly late and blocking precision suffers The overall stiffness punishes elbow and shoulder if your smash technique isn't fully grooved, especially over long matches

The Adipower Multiweight 3.3 arrives with a Carbon Aluminized 18K face, an EVA High Memory core, a 38 mm frame profile and 355-365 g spread across a 460 cm² diamond mould. This is an attacking racket through and through, and the throat system is what sets it apart from the rest of the brand's power lineup.

Nine grams, your call: how the Weight & Balance System Multiweight works

The throat houses six or seven removable screws that let you add up to 9 grams. This isn't a gimmick: shifting that mass moves the balance point of a padel racket that already ships head-heavy.

Loaded up, the mass shifts toward the head and the smash gains inertia and depth. Stripped down, the racket becomes a touch more manageable at the net and on wall exits, though it never quite behaves like a round-shaped frame.

That adjustability has a real-world payoff: you can rig it heavy for matches where you're going to attack constantly, then lighten it when your opponent forces you onto defence and you need more maneuverability.

What level of player is the Adipower Multiweight 3.3 built for?

This one's built for advanced players with fast hands and solid technique. Combine very firm EVA High Memory rubber, a diamond mould and a head-heavy balance and you need clean contact high on the face: hit it well and the ball comes back scorching, but without your own rhythm you'll struggle to find ball exit.

Carbon Aluminized 18K and EVA High Memory: why the feel is so crisp

The 18K aluminized carbon face barely flexes on contact. That stiffness is exactly what delivers such a direct, almost unfiltered feedback between ball and hand.

The High Memory core works the same way: it snaps back to shape almost instantly after impact and doesn't let the ball sit. The result is a short, explosive touch rather than a springy one.

The trade-off is what you'd expect from rubber this firm. In cold conditions or with new, high-pressure balls, the racket demands even more arm to get the ball out of the court.

Dual Exoskeleton, Smart Holes Curve and Power Embossed Ridge: the frame's job

• **Dual Exoskeleton**: a double insertion of carbon ribs in the heart of the racket that cuts down on torsion when contact drifts toward the edge.
• **Smart Holes Curve**: a curved hole pattern across the frame designed to spread stress across the face rather than concentrate it.
• **Power Embossed Ridge**: a structural reinforcement on the 38 mm frame that holds the profile together on hard, crisp hits.
• **Spin Blade Decal**: works alongside the sandy surface to bite into the ball on liftado shots.

On court, that package translates into a frame that never feels soft: the ball goes where you send it, even when contact isn't dead-centre.

Smash down the 3, vibora and bandeja: where the 460 cm² diamond shines

The flat smash is this racket's bread and butter. With the weight up top and the sweet spot close to the head, the ball comes out flat and low, and it's down the 3 line where the difference from a more balanced shape really shows.

On the vibora, the sandy surface bites just enough to close off the crosscourt angle without needing to overswing. The kick serve also benefits from that same grip.

The bandeja holds up fine as long as you prepare early. With the arm outstretched and the body still moving, the head-heavy inertia becomes noticeable and it's harder to control how high the ball bounces off the back wall.

What happens when you're late to the ball?

This is where the trade-off of this approach shows up. The usable zone on the face is narrow and set high, so a tight wall exit struck low on the stringbed comes back short.

On deep defensive shots, the lob needs your whole body behind it: the racket doesn't help lift the ball, it just goes along for the ride. Players who defend a lot and attack sparingly will find themselves working overtime with this model.

Player profile: who gets the most out of this Adidas racket

This suits the high-level offensive player who closes out points, typically from the backhand side, and moves to net to finish the point rather than build it.

The ideal partner is someone who can sustain the rally and feed a high ball, letting this racket do what it does best: put points away up top.

Intermediate players still grooving their contact point will find this a demanding racket. Neither the rubber nor the balance forgives off-centre hits, and the sensation of stiffness shows up before any sense of power does.

Verdict: real power in exchange for technical discipline

The Multiweight 3.3 delivers exactly what its attacking design promises: heavy ball, crisp response, and the ability to fine-tune balance through the throat screws — something very few rackets in this category offer.

In return, it demands technique, physicality and a game built around living at the net. Anyone chasing forgiveness on mishits, easy ball exit or better handling on defence should look toward a round-shaped frame with softer rubber; this padel racket is built for the opposite end of the game.
