Bestpadel Review

The Adidas Cross It 3.4 is a racket designed for competition-level players who favour an attacking playstyle. Its diamond oversized shape and high balance position it as a formidable option for those looking to dictate points with power. We found its primary strength lies in its ability to generate significant ball speed, with our testing attributing it a power score of 8.9/10. This is supported by its firm 15K aluminized carbon fiber surface and hard EVA HIGH MEMORY core, which together provide a very direct feel on impact. While the Cross It 3.4 excels in power, its hard feel and high balance contribute to a more demanding experience. We rate its difficulty at 9.1/10, making it best suited for players with advanced technique who can consistently find the sweet spot. Control, in our assessment, comes in at 5.6/10, indicating that precision requires careful management, particularly in defensive situations. The textured surface, however, does aid in adding rotation to the ball; we attributed it 7.8/10 for spin, which can be a valuable asset for technical attackers. This racket's robust carbon fiber frame also contributes to its durability, which we rate at 7.8/10. Given its specific characteristics and target player, this racket offers a clear advantage for aggressive play, though it requires a skilled hand to manage effectively.
