The verdict

The Adidas Cross It Light 3.4 is a lightweight, round-shaped entry-level racket built for ease of use and arm comfort over long beginner sessions, but it sacrifices notable power and precision in the process. Its foam core and forgiving face make it accessible for absolute newcomers learning positioning and basic strokes, though the build quality and materials feel underwhelming relative to its price when stacked against competitors like Bullpadel's beginner range. Players just starting out will appreciate the low swing weight and forgiveness, but they may quickly outgrow it once they develop any technical consistency.

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.
