The verdict
The Cross It Team Light 2026 is the budget edition of adidas's speed thesis: a 360 g even-balanced build with a carbon-fibreglass face scoring maneuverability 78 with kind terms (comfort 74, tolerance 76) and dependable control 74. Power 70 is the standard trade. Value 78 keeps the line's honest arithmetic. The card sits one notch below the Cross It Light's full 86-maneuverability specialisation: most of the punctuality, most of the kindness, less of the invoice. For net-forward improvers who want quick and forgiving without the premium face, precisely right.

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.
Real maneuverability defines this frame, with kind terms throughout comfort and tolerance and the carbon-fibreglass face forgiving the learning process. Control stays dependable for placement. It's an honest, accessible entry into adidas's speed-first family. Power is the standard trade for all that handling — the full Light edition in the same range does everything here one notch better if you're willing to spend more, and against heavier balls the light build does yield.
