Performance Highlights

1. Maximum Maneuverability The round head shape and even balance make the CTRL 2.6 the most agile racket in the Metalbone lineup. It is perfect for fast-paced exchanges at the net and defensive recovery at the back of the court, allowing for lightning-fast racket head speed.

2. Carbon Aluminized 15K Surface The hitting surface uses 15K Aluminized Carbon, providing a firm and responsive touch. This high-density fiber ensures that the racket doesn't lose its shape on impact, delivering surgical accuracy and excellent durability for intensive play.

3. Soft Performance EVA Core To balance the stiffness of the carbon, the CTRL uses a low-density rubber core. This provides a comfortable sensation, high ball output, and excellent vibration dampening, making it easier to control the pace of the game during long rallies.

4. Weight & Balance System Like the pro power models, the CTRL features the signature customization system in the bridge. By adjusting the six screws, you can:

• Remove weights: To make the racket lighter and more maneuverable for a pure control game.
  
• Keep weights in: To add mass and shift the balance slightly higher if you need extra punch on your smashes.

5. Spin Blade & Octagonal Structure

• Spin Blade: The 3D relief on the surface maximizes ball grip for aggressive spin.
• Octagonal Structure: The 8-edged tubular frame provides the structural rigidity necessary to minimize torsion, ensuring every shot is stable and precise.
