The verdict
Marta Ortega's Cross IT Light 3.4 is one of the most specialised frames we score: 340 g with a Soft EVA core and carbon-fibreglass face, producing maneuverability 86, tolerance 84 and comfort 82, the kindest, quickest combination in the current market. The frame is simply never late and never harsh. Power 64 is the deliberate, total trade: winners come from position and patience, full stop. Value 70 reflects signature pricing on a niche spec. For players managing injury, prioritising hands absolutely, or wanting the lightest serious frame available, it is close to unique; for anyone else it is a lovely thing built for someone else.

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.
This is one of the most specialised frames we score: maneuverability is the quickest we've measured, and tolerance with comfort combine into the kindest pairing currently on the market — the frame is simply never late and never harsh. Structural quality feels genuinely solid despite how light it is in hand. Power offers no finishing help at all, so you'll need your own weapons elsewhere in the game, and against heavier incoming pace the very light build does yield. This is a genuine niche specialist at signature pricing, not an all-rounder.
