Metalbone HRD for committed attackers with conditioning — now the cheaper of the two; Diablo Revolution is worth its £30-odd premium in forgiveness.
Two heavyweight diamond-shape rackets — and the price relationship has reversed: the Adidas at £108 now undercuts the Siux at £138 by about £30. The Adidas Metalbone HRD is Ale Galán's territory, with the highest balance in the Metalbone range, a notably stiff carbon face, and the kind of unforgiving response that turns clean overheads into winners and miscues into wrist strain. The Siux Diablo Revolution is the slightly more humane diamond, still attacking-focused with a high balance point, but with a marginally softer EVA core that's more forgiving on off-centre shots and gentler on the elbow over a long match. Both demand confirmed technique and a competent bandeja. The old maths — pay extra for the Metalbone only if you compete — is gone; if anything the stiffer, more demanding racket is now the cheaper one. Buy the Adidas Metalbone HRD if you're a serious attacker with the elbow conditioning to exploit it — the £30 saving is a bonus. Otherwise go for the Siux Diablo Revolution: it delivers most of the attacking character with a friendlier response, and for most players that comfort is worth the modest premium.
