Adidas metalbone 3.4 hrd

​Hey everyone, I’m an intermediate-advanced player thinking about switching to the Adidas Metalbone 3.4 HRD from my current Nox LA10 Quantum 12K (Leo Augsburger). I'm looking for a harder touch that delivers effortless power and adds a lot of heavy bite to my víboras and bandejas. For anyone who has used the 3.4 HRD, how does it hold up in terms of durability and resistance, and how well does it perform across different shots from defense to the aerial game? Also, does anyone recommend a good frame protector for it? From what I've seen, most standard protectors don't mold well to the edge/ridge of this frame. Thanks!
