At Tienda Padelpoint we have both rackets of Adidas’s Zinedine Zidane edition and its bag, in our Adidas Padel Rackets category. If you want to see more models from the brand, on the blog we go through the new Adidas World Cup 2026 padel rackets.
Here we explain what each racket has according to its product page (shape, materials, weight and technologies), who it is for and who it is not for, with a table to compare them at a glance.
Which of the two Adidas Zidane rackets suits you?
- Which one suits you: the ZZ Carbon if you want carbon faces, stiffer and more precise; the ZZ Team if you prefer fibreglass faces, more flexible and comfortable. Both are round, with a balanced weight distribution (the weight shared evenly between head and handle) and a centred sweet spot (the area of the face where the shot comes out best).
- What they share: a weight of 360–375 g, a 38 mm profile (thickness), EVA Soft Performance foam, Power Octagonal Structure, Smart Holes Curve and Structural Reinforcement.
- Level: the ZZ Carbon page presents it for advanced players; the ZZ Team page speaks of players who want a balance of power, comfort and control.
- The Tour ZZ bag: a main compartment with a double-slider zip, thermally insulated side compartments and a separate ventilated compartment.
- Stock: each product page shows live whether it is in stock; if you are torn between the two, ask us.
What the Adidas Zidane edition is ↑ index
The Adidas Zinedine Zidane edition has two rackets and a bag. The rackets are the Metalbone ZZ Carbon and the Metalbone ZZ Team; the bag is the Tour ZZ. All three are at Tienda Padelpoint.
Both rackets weigh 360–375 g and have a 38 mm profile; they share the round shape and differ in faces, surface and the kind of player they target, according to the official Adidas Padel website. The bag completes the edition with a Zidane-inspired design. According to Adidas, it is “the first padel collaboration between adidas and Zinedine Zidane”.
What differs between the ZZ Carbon and ZZ Team ↑ index
They are not the same racket with a different finish: they are alike in weight and structure and differ in faces, feel and surface. This is what the official Adidas website and their product pages say:
Shape: both are round, with a balanced weight distribution and a centred sweet spot, according to the official Adidas website; the difference is not the shape but the faces and the surface.
Faces and frame: the ZZ Carbon has a Carbon Fiber frame and Carbon Fiber faces; the ZZ Team has a Carbon Fiber frame and Fiber Glass faces, more flexible with a more comfortable feel.
Surface: the ZZ Carbon uses Spin Blade Decal, with relief; the ZZ Team uses Spin Blade Gritt, with a rough finish. Both aim to make spin easier.
Foam and structure: both have EVA Soft Performance and Power Octagonal Structure, which adds stiffness, plus Smart Holes Curve, Structural Reinforcement (a reinforcement against wear) and, according to the official Adidas website, Low Poly (a faceted frame design, for extra stiffness) and Extra Power Grip (a longer grip).
Weight and profile: both 360–375 g with a 38 mm profile. That is a medium-to-heavy weight, the usual one for adult rackets: it gives stability on the hit, but if you come from a lighter racket you will feel the change in your arm during the first sessions.
The three references of the Zidane edition are at Tienda Padelpoint: ZZ Carbon (REF 219371), ZZ Team (REF 219372) and the Tour ZZ bag (REF 219373). According to the official Adidas Padel website, both rackets are round and differ only in the faces (carbon versus fibreglass) and the surface; according to our product pages, they weigh 360–375 g. We checked it on 12 October 2026. Each product page shows its live stock.
Our physical shop has been in La Nucía (Alicante) since 2003. When two rackets are so close in weight, the faces and the feel are what set them apart, so we put them side by side.
The two rackets and the bag, product by product ↑ index

Who each racket is for and who it is not ↑ index
The ZZ Carbon suits those who want control and precision with carbon faces; the ZZ Team those who want a more comfortable feel and an easy ball exit with fibreglass faces. What does not suit you matters as much as what does:
ZZ Carbon, for you if… you play at an advanced level and want a round racket with a firm feel, with carbon faces to place the ball precisely.
ZZ Carbon, less so if… you are starting out: its product page presents it for advanced players who already know what they want in a racket.
ZZ Team, for you if… you like to attack at the net with a comfortable-feeling round racket: its fibreglass faces flex more and forgive off-centre hits better, so, in our view, it also suits you at intermediate level.
ZZ Team, less so if… you want the stiffer, more direct feel of carbon to finish points precisely: the ZZ Carbon fits better there.
Tour ZZ bag, for you if… you carry rackets, shoes and kit and want everything in its place; if you only carry one racket, a smaller bag is enough.
Comparison of the two Zidane rackets ↑ index
The comparison of the ZZ Carbon and the ZZ Team fits in one sentence: same round shape, same weight (360–375 g) and same profile (38 mm); what changes is the faces (carbon versus fibreglass) and the surface (Spin Blade Decal versus Spin Blade Gritt). The two rackets of the edition, side by side:
| Racket | Shape and balance | Materials | Weight and profile |
|---|---|---|---|
 ZZ Carbon | Round, balanced, centred sweet spot | Carbon Fiber frame; Carbon Fiber faces; EVA Soft Performance | 360–375 g · 38 mm |
 ZZ Team | Round, balanced, centred sweet spot | Carbon Fiber frame; Fiber Glass faces; EVA Soft Performance | 360–375 g · 38 mm |
Which one: ZZ Carbon, ZZ Team or the bag ↑ index
Which one to choose between the ZZ Carbon and the ZZ Team depends on the feel you want, not the shape, because both are round and weigh the same: the ZZ Carbon if you want firm, precise carbon faces; the ZZ Team if you prefer fibreglass, softer and more forgiving. And the Tour ZZ bag if you already have a racket.
I want a firm, precise feel: the ZZ Carbon, round with carbon faces.
I want a comfortable feel for attacking: the ZZ Team, round with fibreglass faces that forgive off-centre hits better.
I already have a racket and need a bag: the Tour ZZ, with separate compartments for rackets, shoes and delicate items.
ZZ Carbon or ZZ Team? Same round shape and same weight: the ZZ Carbon if you want carbon faces and maximum precision; the ZZ Team if you want fibreglass and a more comfortable feel. If you are still torn, message us on WhatsApp. And if you are ever near Alicante, drop into our shop in La Nucía and hold them.
“Which of the two is more forgiving?” The ZZ Team: its fibreglass faces flex more and feel softer than the carbon faces of the ZZ Carbon, which Adidas pitches at advanced players. Both are round, with a centred, easy-to-find sweet spot, so the difference in forgiving an off-centre hit lies in the faces, not the shape.
“Does the rough surface wear down?” With use, any Spin Blade surface loses some of its relief: to make it last, wipe it with a cloth after playing and keep it in the bag, away from the heat of the car. We explain it step by step in how to clean a padel racket without damaging the surface.
“Does Zidane play with these rackets?” Adidas presents the edition as “the first padel collaboration between adidas and Zinedine Zidane” and a tribute to his legacy; its official website does not say that Zidane competes with them, so we do not claim it either. What does belong to the collection, according to Adidas, are the exclusive details, the ZZ print on the bag lining and the adidas x Zidane packaging.
“Do two rackets and my shoes fit in the Tour ZZ?” Yes: according to Adidas it holds 70 litres and measures 55 x 36 x 30 cm, with insulated sides for the rackets and a separate ventilated compartment for the shoes, so two rackets, shoes and kit travel without mixing. If you only carry one racket, you will have room to spare.

Our verdict on the Adidas Zidane rackets ↑ index
If you keep one idea: the ZZ Carbon is the firm, precise option and the ZZ Team the comfortable one for attacking, and both share shape, weight and profile, so the choice comes down to the faces and the feel.
What we like most is that both keep the same structure and are clearly different. The catch: the shop’s product page does not give the balance in millimetres, only “balanced”.
A shop tip: do not buy for the name of the edition, choose the feel and the level that best fit your game. And if you are unsure, ask us.
