Adidas Cross It Carbon Ctrl

The Adidas Cross It Carbon Ctrl 2026 is a hybrid control frame for intermediate players who want precision without committing to a head-heavy diamond. Control at 84 is the clear strength, and the even balance and 365 g weight make it stable and accessible across all court positions. The multi-foam core and Carbon 3K face deliver a responsive, predictable feel. Power at 74 is honest rather than explosive. PRR score: 83/100.

StarVie Metheora Dual

The Metheora Dual is StarVie's flagship round-shaped control racket, built around a new Dual Density rubber that adapts to shot pace - comfortable and forgiving on slower, defensive strokes, but genuinely explosive when the swing speeds up. Two layers of 3K carbon over the round profile give it more attacking output than a typical control shape usually offers, at an even 370g with a 260mm balance. This is a serious, advanced-level frame built for a player who constructs points but still wants real pace available when the opportunity comes.
