The Cross It Team Light is extremely similar to the Cross It Light 3.4, sharing the same round shape, 345-360 gram weight range, and low balance for easy handling. The primary difference is the hitting surface, which is a soft and flexible fiberglass composite that helps facilitate excellent ball pocketing and a deeper flex. Additionally, adidas has markedly increased the length of their handle with their Extra Power Grip, which adds more leverage and reach for length-based power, which helps round out this otherwise control-focused experience. A combination of 11 smaller holes and 13 standard-sized holes makes for a balanced hitting experience that offers both good stability and control. Elsewhere, the Soft Performance rubber inside the racket is made from a low density EVA that boosts comfort substantially, helping to make this frame feel more user-friendly. To further boost spin production, adidas uses their Spin Blade Decal texture to facilitate good grip on the ball which also enhances control. For intermediate and newer players who like a more flexible hitting experience, the Cross It Team Light is a fantastic option for both comfort and precision. Our in-house testers at Padel Warehouse love this racket for its easy-to-use nature and rewarding playability.
