The verdict
Maxi Arce's Cross IT Carbon is adidas's mid-tier signature done sensibly: an EVA Performance core with a 6K carbon face producing power 82 that attacks convincingly at club level, and control 74 that keeps the rest of the game intact. Comfort 70 and tolerance 69 are fair, liveable numbers, and maneuverability 72 keeps the frame prompt. Weight and balance documentation is incomplete for this build, so confirm in hand. Value 74 is honest for a signature edition. For intermediates who want a name on the throat without flagship demands or flagship prices, the Arce Cross IT is a balanced, unintimidating buy.

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.
Maxi Arce's frame is the sensible kind of signature: convincing club-level attack with the rest of the game kept intact, feedback that's lively without harshness, and manners that survive long sessions; at mid-tier pricing. The weight and balance data is incomplete, so check in hand; there's no standout strength for specialists, and the flagship versions of the line hit harder.
