Highlights

A beginner racket that still hits

Soft core and forgiving face, with the weight biased forward.

Allround is not round

adidas's hybrid shape - weight biased toward the upper frame, so it behaves closer to a teardrop.

EVA Soft Performance core

At the comfortable end of the EVA range: a larger effective sweet spot and less shock.

Smart Holes

Perforations grouped in threes to spread stress through the face rather than concentrating it.

Built for attack

Slightly head-heavy, which is where the smash power in a beginner racket comes from.

Product description

About this product

The adidas Match 3.3 Black/Red – a beginner padel racket from adidas’s Match range, 2024 collection.

adidas publish the specification properly, which makes this an easy racket to describe honestly. An Allround shape – their own hybrid between round and teardrop, with the weight shifted slightly toward the upper frame – on a 520 cm2 face, 38 mm thick, 360 to 375 g, with a slightly head-heavy balance. The core is EVA Soft Performance rubber and the face is fibreglass.

That combination is aimed squarely at a beginner who wants to attack. The soft EVA and the fibreglass face give comfort and a forgiving sweet spot; the head-heavy balance and the upper-frame weighting give more on a smash than a purely control-oriented racket would. adidas label the game type as attack and the sweet spot as middle.

This model uses Smart Holes Lineal perforation plus Structural Reinforcement – perimeter reinforcing that raises frame rigidity and torsional resistance for attacking play.

One honest note on the range: the Match 3.3 and 3.4 are the same platform with different cosmetics and a slightly different technology callout. If you are choosing between them, choose on price and colour rather than expecting a performance step between generations.

This is a padel racket. Padel and pickleball are different sports and the equipment does not cross over.

Questions

Good to know

Is padel the same as pickleball?

No, they are different sports and the equipment is not interchangeable. Padel is played on an enclosed 20 by 10 metre court with glass walls that are in play, using a solid perforated racket and a depressurised tennis-type ball. Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized open court with a flat unperforated paddle and a rigid plastic ball with holes in it. A padel racket is too heavy for pickleball and a pickleball paddle cannot play a wall.

Round, teardrop or diamond - which padel racket shape?

Round rackets put the sweet spot low and central, near your hand: the most control, the most forgiveness, the least power. Diamond rackets put it high near the tip: maximum power on a smash, a small sweet spot, and unforgiving of a mishit. Teardrop sits between the two and is where most players should be. Start round or teardrop and move to diamond only when your contact point is reliable.

What does adidas mean by Allround shape?

It is their own term for a hybrid between round and teardrop - the weight is shifted slightly toward the upper frame, so it behaves closer to a teardrop with a slightly head-heavy balance than to a true round racket. Do not read Allround as round; it hits harder than a round racket does.

What are Smart Holes?

adidas align the perforations and group them in threes rather than spacing them evenly. The point is structural: grouping the holes distributes stress through the face instead of concentrating it at each hole, which extends frame life.

What is EVA Soft Performance?

The rubber core. EVA is the foam that sits between the two faces of a padel racket and does most of the work of absorbing and returning the ball. Soft grades give more comfort and a larger effective sweet spot; harder grades give more power and less forgiveness. Soft Performance is at the comfortable end, which suits a beginner.

Does the heat here affect the racket?

Yes. The EVA or foam core of a padel racket softens as it warms, so the same racket plays livelier and softer on a hot Dar afternoon than it would in a European winter. That is not a fault. What does damage it is sustained extreme heat - never leave a racket in a parked car boot, where interior temperatures will permanently deform the core.

How do I look after the racket?

Wear the wrist cord every point. Keep it in a cover, out of direct sun and never in a car boot - sustained heat permanently deforms an EVA core. Replace the bumper strip when it wears through; it is a consumable and it costs a fraction of the frame.

Do you deliver in Dar es Salaam?

Yes. We deliver across Dar es Salaam and send nationwide to Arusha, Moshi, Mwanza, Dodoma, Zanzibar and beyond by courier. Call or WhatsApp us if you need a same-day drop in the city.
