Which one suits you

Pick the adidas Metalbone Team if

You want more weight behind the ball: the balance is higher, towards the head.
You already hit the ball cleanly: the brand pitches it at advanced players.

Pick the Bullpadel Vertex Advance if

You want it quicker in the hand and easier on the arm: the weight sits lower.
You want the more forgiving of the two: the brand pitches it at improving players, so it asks less of your technique.

Not a factor, because they are the same on both: price (within a few pounds today), shape (both diamond), feel (both soft), weight.
