The Adidas Cross It 2024 is constructed with a 38mm carbon fiber frame and a hard 15K aluminized carbon fiber surface, paired with a hard EVA HIGH MEMORY core. This combination is designed for competitive players. In our testing, we found the oversized diamond shape and high balance contributed to its offensive capabilities. The textured surface also plays a role in generating spin. When it comes to playing experience, this racket delivers considerable power, which we rate at 8.9/10. This is supported by its high balance and firm materials. However, as often happens with powerful rackets, we attributed its control a score of 5.6/10, suggesting it requires precise handling. We also rated its spin at 7.8/10, which is beneficial for attacking shots. Given its characteristics and our observations, we found it to have a difficulty score of 9.1/10, making it best suited for advanced players with a technical attacking style. We rated its durability at 7.8/10, which is respectable for a high-performance racket, but its value for money came in at 4.6/10.

Manufacturer's Description
The new CROSS IT is a racket for different players, those who see padel with the eyes of a professional. It incorporates many technologies to take your game to new heights. It incorporates the Extra Power Grip, a new longer grip that moves the balance to the head of the racket and allows for more powerful shots. The materials concentrate the greatest rigidity to reinforce this capacity. They are the Carbon Aluminized 15K fiber and the EVA High Memory rubber. The technology also reaches the holes of the racket. The Eleven 13 system is made up of smaller holes than usual in the center of the head to improve the durability of the racket. The biggest innovation of the new CROSS IT is in the very heart of it. The Dynamic Air Flow is the best way to facilitate the air flow in this part of the racket. This aerodynamic contribution reduces drag, increases the speed of movements, and therefore increases the power of the racket.
