Metalbone Youth 3.2: The racket for tomorrow’s padel legends

The new Metalbone 2023 collection once again shows why this range is a favourite choice of padel players around the world, including Ale Galan, because of the use of technology and other characteristics. But we do not just think about technology when it comes to designing rackets - we also need to think about who will be holding them on court.

And for young players new to padel, the Metabone Youth 3.2 is the perfect racket to start. It can also be your choice of racket as you progress and get more experience on court in the coming years. But what makes this racket so special? Let’s take a look.

Your perfect first padel racket

The Metalbone Youth 3.2 is designed to help young players develop their game in an efficient way, and work on all areas - such as control, power, and shot effectiveness.

It is fairly light in weight, between 330-345 grams, meaning it is easy for boys and girls to handle it while on court. It comes in a black and red colour combination, not dissimilar to Ale Galan’s racket, the Metalbone HRD 3.2. Indeed, it could be a way to inspire youngsters to reach the same heights as Galán, who will finish this year as the world number one for the third year in a row.

The Diamond Oversize head, along with a surface of 485 cm2, allows for a larger sweet spot - something that will help players develop their shot selection as they become more experienced in padel, and hit with more precision. The inclusion of EVA Soft Performance rubber ensures comfort while holding the racket, a key factor for the youngest players on court.

Designed for an attacking game

While the racket includes features designed for control and comfort, the Metabone Youth 3.2 is also aimed at allowing players to find their most attacking shots and be effective no matter in what area of the court they find themselves. The OCTAGONAL STRUCTURE technology, an eight-corner carbon tube, is located in the frame and heart of the racket. This means the racket is more rigid and resistant, allowing players to get more power in their shots. The racket is also made from glass fibre, increasing the resistance when it comes to power.

To reach the very top of the game though, players need more than power or control in their locker. They also need to be able to play a range of shots that will cause problems for opponents. Smart Holes Curve technology is used in this racket and it designed to facilitate and improve shot effectiveness, such as spin.

Overall, the Metalbone Youth 3.2 is ideal for any new young player to the sport of padel. With this racket, you can work on all aspects of your game and have a lot of fun on court.
