The verdict

Control and power sit at an equal 82 on the Adidas Cross It Ctrl 2026, making it a genuinely well-rounded diamond rather than a specialist. The 260 mm balance keeps it quick to position, and the EVA foam core delivers a consistent, forgiving feel that suits advanced players who want to construct and redirect the ball. Tolerance at 75 and comfort at 74 both confirm the frame is arm-friendly for regular sessions. PRR score: 82/100.

What we loved
Balanced power and control at 82 each: equally effective on offense and defense
260 mm balance: head-light feel that keeps the frame quick to position
EVA foam core: consistent, forgiving feel across the face
Tolerance at 75: above-average forgiveness for a control-focused diamond
Worth knowing
Comfort at 74 is decent but players with arm sensitivity should demo before committing
Diamond shape demands consistent technique to extract the most from the balance
Not the frame for players whose game relies on overhead aggression from deep

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.

  1. 2025

    The mainline 3.4 (PRR 82) and Marta Ortega's edition define the all-court formula; the Pro EDT (PRR 87) tops the family.

  2. 2025

    The tour-level trim — stiffer face, same forgiving geometry. The best Cross It we have tested at PRR 87.

  3. 2026

    The Carbon trim steps up to PRR 84, narrowing the gap to the Pro EDT at a friendlier price.

The PRR takePRR Team

A diamond that plays fair

A genuinely well-rounded diamond rather than a specialist: equally effective attacking and defending, quick to position thanks to the low balance, and more forgiving than control-focused diamonds usually manage. It suits advanced players who construct and redirect. Consistent technique gets the most from the shape, deep overhead aggression isn't its game, and arm-sensitive players should demo first.
