Adidas Cross IT LIGHT 3.4 2025 Martha Ortega vs Siux Electra ST5 Pro Shadow Red 2026 Franco Stupaczuk

“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.”

“Franco Stupaczuk's Shadow Red ST5 is built to attack: power 90 with control 78 is a proper first-strike profile, and the confirmed even balance at 365 g explains why it feels quicker between shots than its hitting power implies. Blocks and counters stay manageable, then the same frame turns a short lob into a finished point. The firm side is unavoidable: comfort 67 and tolerance 66 mean mishits are felt and punished. Beyond balance and weight, full spec for this colourway is unconfirmed, so try before you buy. For aggressive all-court players it is a convincing signature frame.”
