Adidas Adipower Legend vs Enebe Cross

“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 is Enebe's balanced soft frame: a head-light build with a Soft EVA core and fibreglass face scoring control 72 with civil terms (comfort 72, tolerance 73) and honest handling (73). Power 66 leans it toward placement. Weight documentation is incomplete. Value 78 keeps the working-brand arithmetic sound. Within Enebe's crowded catalogue the Cross is the gentle counterweight to the attacking Mustangs and Combats: kind, punctual, dependably dull in the best sense. For improvers who build points, another honest Enebe at honest money.”
