Buy the Metalbone HRD if you smash everything and the £116 premium doesn't sting; the Bela Pro v2 wins on spin and price.
Two signature frames aimed at finishers — and the Adidas is the pricier of the two by about £116. The Metalbone HRD carries Ale Galan's name and tends towards a stiffer, harder hitting feel, while the Bela Pro v2 is built around Belasteguin's preference for a slightly softer touch with brutal spin from the Spin Effect surface.
What actually matters for you:
At £248 vs £132, the Metalbone carries a serious premium. Honestly, neither belongs in a beginner's bag. If you're a 3.5 club player thinking the Galan or Bela name will sort your game out, put the money towards coaching instead. Both rackets reward technique you have to bring with you.
