The verdict

The Cross It Light 3.4 is adidas's speed experiment, and the numbers are startling: maneuverability 84 is the highest we score in this class, with tolerance 81 and comfort 79 completing a card built entirely around ease. The 360 g head-light build with a Soft EVA core swings itself; the 24K face is an unexpected luxury that keeps touch shots crisp. Power 68 is the transparent trade. Value 72 reflects the premium face. For net-forward players, fast-exchange specialists, and anyone whose game is hands rather than shoulders, this frame is nearly custom-built. Big hitters need not visit.

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.

adidas's speed experiment, and the numbers show it

This is adidas's purest speed experiment: maneuverability is the highest we score in its class, and tolerance with comfort complete a card built entirely around ease — the head-light build with a Soft EVA core essentially swings itself. The premium carbon face is an unexpected luxury on a frame this focused on speed. Power is entirely your own to supply, and against heavier incoming balls the very light build does yield — the premium face also keeps the price up relative to simpler light frames.
