THE PADDLE REGISTER · 2025 · CURRENT
adidas AdiPower PRO-EDT 14 · 16 · 16 C
adidas's relaunch into performance paddles at $189. The Kitchen's review sorted the three by play style, the 14mm for net play and the 16mm widebody for consistency, and published no lab numbers. It followed the brand's January signing of world No. 1 Federico Staksrud, though the line carries Martinez Vich's name.

MEASURED BY THE LABS
The register does not re-measure paddles or copy a lab's numbers wholesale. Power, pop and spin belong to the people with the radar guns; go read them.
FIELD REPORTS · AFTER YOU BUY IT
Reviewers measure a paddle new. Nobody measures it at hour sixty.
Loading field reports…
Keep a bag on Rally: log the hours you put on this paddle, when the grit fades, and when it goes dead. It stays on your device until you press "send a wear report", and the report carries no name.
