“Ignore the Adipower name's attacking history: the Legend is a control instrument. Control 92 is among the highest we have scored, and the EVA Soft Performance core with a Carbon 3K face explains the feel: soft enough to absorb pace and reset the point, precise enough to put a lob on the back glass at will. Comfort 78 and tolerance 77 make it kind to arms and imperfect contact alike. Power 82 is the trade, respectable but not a finisher, so points end through construction rather than violence. For intermediates upward who win with patience and placement, it is superb.”
“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.”
