How to think about this racket
What it is
HRD+ 2026 is Galán’s power Metalbone: diamond, head-heavy, 345–360 g + 0–11.2 g, 16K aluminised carbon and High Memory EVA. Official store copy is hit harder, faster and deeper.
Who it's for
Advanced finishers who want a dense EVA. If you want the same mould with a softer core, buy Metalbone 3.5 / 2026.
How it plays
High Memory is specified as high-density EVA for high-speed shots. That is the whole point of HRD+ versus the standard Metalbone.
Power vs control
The stiffer Metalbone. CTRL is round. 3.5 is Soft Performance.
Handling
Same Weight & Balance kit as the standard 2026 Metalbone.
Comfort
Lower than 3.5 by construction. Not a comfort model.
Sweet spot / forgiveness
Top sweet spot, pro diamond.
Materials
16K aluminised carbon, High Memory EVA, Weight & Balance, Octagonal Structure, Spin Blade Decal.
