The Adipower CTRL 3 is the control paddle in Adidas's top Adipower line, designed for advanced players who prioritize precision. The face uses 24K aluminized carbon, which gives rigidity and a distinct touch, with a rough Spin Blade Max finish to generate spin. The core is 14 mm polypropylene honeycomb, the weight is between 7.8 and 8.2 oz and the handle is 4.75 inches. The wider CTRL shape enlarges the usable area and favors dinks and resets, with edge protection.

How the RR Score was calculated

|---|---|---|
| Specs | 65% | 60 |
| Approval from players | 35% | 65 |
The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
