The verdict
The Cross It Carbon CTRL 3.4 is adidas's mid-tier control offer, and the tuning is mature: an even-balanced teardrop with an EVA core where control 84 leads, comfort 74 and tolerance 75 forgive generously, and power 74 keeps just enough sting for the occasional finish. The 3K face adds welcome clarity to touch shots. Maneuverability 74 keeps it prompt. Weight documentation is incomplete, so confirm in hand. Value 78 rounds out a card with no bad numbers. For intermediates who have discovered that placement wins more club matches than pace, the 3.4 is an easy, sensible recommendation.

The series story
Adidas Cross It
Adidas's all-court line, fronted by Marta Ortega
The Cross It is Adidas's all-court series: the rounder, more forgiving counterpart to the Metalbone, and the line associated with Marta Ortega on the women's tour. Its brief is balance: enough bite to attack when the ball sits up, enough sweet spot to defend without punishment. The family follows Adidas's familiar trim structure (mainline, Pro EDT at the top, Carbon and Team below), and the Pro EDT editions have been the quiet overachievers of the range, scoring 87 with us.
Which one should you buy?
The Cross It Pro EDT (PRR 87) is the best racket in the line and one of the best all-court frames Adidas makes, so buy it if it fits your budget. The standard Cross It 3.4 (PRR 82) and Carbon 2026 (PRR 84) are solid steps down, and the Team trim covers improvers. Attackers should look at the Metalbone instead.
Adidas's mid-tier control offer with genuinely mature tuning: placement leads, the terms forgive generously, the even-balanced teardrop times beautifully, and the face gives welcome clarity on touch shots — a strong card at sensible money. The attack is selective rather than standing, the weight spec is incomplete so verify before buying, and adidas's own Arrow Hit Ctrl undercuts it on price.
