Our Verdict

The Metalbone Team 3.4 25 Limited Edition is a well-targeted intermediate racket for players who want to attack and finish points at the net. The oversized diamond shape and head-heavy balance combine to deliver real swing momentum, making smashes and put-aways feel satisfying and effective. The soft core and fiberglass surface keep the experience accessible — you don't need to generate enormous racket speed to get something out of it. It sits comfortably in the Metalbone family's DNA whilst remaining honest about its intermediate positioning. If you're a club player looking to build an attacking game and want a racket that encourages you to be assertive, this delivers on that promise.

Pros

Players stepping up from beginner rackets will feel a marked increase in punch on attacking shots, with the head-heavy balance generating momentum that does a lot of the work for you.
The soft core absorbs contact comfortably and gives the ball a lively, springy feel off the face, which helps when generating pace without needing a technically polished swing.
The fiberglass surface adds a degree of dwell time at impact compared to stiffer carbon options, giving players a fraction longer to influence the ball and impart effect.

Cons

Players who rely on touch and placement from the back court will find the head-heavy balance and power-oriented construction work against them — this racket rewards aggression, not patience.

In Depth

The Face

Fiberglass

Fibreglass face — the most flexible surface material in padel. Absorbs pace on contact and returns it with a natural flex effect, particularly effective on softer touch shots.

The Core

Foam (Soft)

Foam core — the softest core material available. Excellent vibration absorption and a large effective sweet spot, making it the most forgiving option on off-centre hits.

Shape & Balance

Diamond · High Balance

The head-heavy weight distribution increases leverage through the swing arc, translating directly into pace on smashes and aggressive volleys. The sweet spot sits high on the face — effective when attacking, but demands cleaner contact than a round or teardrop would.

Who Buys This

Intermediate · Power players

Club players with developing technique who want to add more pace to their game. Comfortable with a smaller sweet spot, looking to generate more power on smashes and aggressive shots.
