Adidas Cross IT LIGHT 3.4 2025 Martha Ortega vs Nox At10 Genius 18K Alum By Agustin Tapia

“Marta Ortega's Cross IT Light 3.4 is one of the most specialised frames we score: 340 g with a Soft EVA core and carbon-fibreglass face, producing maneuverability 86, tolerance 84 and comfort 82, the kindest, quickest combination in the current market. The frame is simply never late and never harsh. Power 64 is the deliberate, total trade: winners come from position and patience, full stop. Value 70 reflects signature pricing on a niche spec. For players managing injury, prioritising hands absolutely, or wanting the lightest serious frame available, it is close to unique; for anyone else it is a lovely thing built for someone else.”

“Tapia's AT10 Genius 18K Alum is the rare frame that hits like an attacker's racket but doesn't fall apart when you defend. The 18K carbon face over a black EVA core gives a dense, springy strike: drives carry pace (power 88), yet the teardrop shape and even balance keep the head obedient on bandejas and blocks (control 84). It sits at the top of our table because it asks fewer sacrifices than a pure diamond. The compromises are familiar: comfort 70 means the stiffness reaches your elbow eventually, and tolerance 68 still wants near-middle contact.”
