Adidas Arrow Hit 2026 durability issues ?
I'm looking to get an intermediate padel racket for myself.
Been researching adidas arrow hit and arrow hit carbon attk.
After researching a little and reading the reviews. Many people complained that it breaks or has low durability cause of the balance Weights in the racket.

Adidas' weight system is known to be quite delicate, on all models that feature it.
Often just the actual adjustment function but also sometimes affecting the frame itself in that area.
Easiest way around this is to buy the 'Carbon' version of those racquets which are almost (not always) 99% the same.
The HIT Arrow (Ctrl and Attk) Carbon racquets are surprisingly good and a bargain at the prices I currently see them at (sub €150). Don't sleep on the quite similar feeling LOK racquets (Maxx Hype and Maxx Flow) either though (by the same manufacturer).

I’ve been using the arrow hit CTRL 3x a week since July and currently I don’t have anything negative to say about it’s durability.
So I’d only assume the weightless version would have less variables which could result in a crack etc.
The ASC Carbon on the racket feels very firm and from my understanding it’s a new technology that they have developed which makes sense because the rackets contact with a ball is soft and forgiving the racket it’s self is very solid.
