Our verdict

What we loved

Four things it does better than most.

Value 78: the affordable speed adidas

Maneuverability 78 with kind terms

Fibreglass face forgives the learning

Control 74 keeps placement dependable

Worth knowing

Power 70: bring your own pace

Light frames yield to heavy balls

The review

Power 70 is the standard trade. Value 78 keeps the line's honest arithmetic. The card sits one notch below the Cross It Light's full 86-maneuverability specialisation: most of the punctuality, most of the kindness, less of the invoice. For net-forward improvers who want quick and forgiving without the premium face, precisely right.

About the Cross It line

The Cross It is Adidas's all-court series: the rounder, more forgiving counterpart to the Metalbone, and the line associated with Marta Ortega on the women's tour. Its brief is balance: enough bite to attack when the ball sits up, enough sweet spot to defend without punishment. The family follows Adidas's familiar trim structure (mainline, Pro EDT at the top, Carbon and Team below), and the Pro EDT editions have been the quiet overachievers of the range, scoring 87 with us.

The Cross It Pro EDT (87 on our score) is the best racket in the line and one of the best all-court frames Adidas makes, so buy it if it fits your budget. The standard Cross It 3.4 (82 on our score) and Carbon 2026 (84 on our score) are solid steps down, and the Team trim covers improvers. Attackers should look at the Metalbone instead.
