Who is the Cross It Light 2026 for?
For players who want a light, precise racket with carbon faces, without the demands of a high-balance diamond. It suits improving intermediate players and advanced control players alike. If you want more hitting power, look at the Metalbone line; if you prefer fibreglass, the Cross It Team Light shares the weight and Dynamic Air Flow.
Strengths
- Light and manoeuvrable: 345–360 g with a medium balance.
- Aerodynamics: according to Adidas, Dynamic Air Flow improves airflow so the racket moves faster.
- Aluminised 24K carbon: carbon faces with an EVA Soft Energy core.
Things to consider
- Its control focus and moderate weight mean less smash power than a power racket.
- Complete beginners have simpler fibreglass options in the range.
