Our verdict
The Cross IT LIGHT Martha Ortega 3.3 is defined by its forgiving round shape and head-light balance, making it easy to swing and redirect balls for complete beginners who are still developing their technique. The EVA foam core and carbon-fibreglass surface blend deliver a soft, muted feel with decent touch but limited power ceiling, meaning players will quickly outgrow it as their game progresses. At its price point it faces stiff competition from better-specced beginner options from Babolat and Head, making the value proposition its weakest link unless purchased on discount.

The head-light balance and light overall build make this genuinely easy to swing and redirect, and the EVA foam core is highly forgiving on off-centre hits: a real confidence-builder for players still finding their swing. Control and precision are both strong for the level. Power output is notably low, so this won't help with offensive shot-making yet, and weight isn't confirmed in our data: worth checking before buying if durability is a concern.
