What is different
Face, weight and price change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Carb-on's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Cross's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Carb-on, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
The Cross is about 15 g lighter: quicker to the ball at the net. The Carb-on puts a little more weight behind a smash.
Edge: the Cross, for quick hands
The balance point is not listed for both.
No edge either way
* Drawn to scale: a 455 mm racket in its shape's outline (traced from a real racket of that shape), with the balance point the shops list marked on it. Real rackets vary by a few millimetres.
