adidas Cross It Light 2026 – Lightweight and Fast Padel Racquet with Control and Power

adidas Cross It Light 2026 is a lightweight, fast and technically advanced padel racquet for players looking for excellent maneuverability without compromising on power and stability. With a weight of just 345–360 grams, a round shape and a centered sweet spot, the racquet is designed for a fast and versatile game where control and precision are key.

Cross It Light 2026 is the model associated with Martita Ortega and combines a firm Carbon Aluminized 24K hitting surface with a more responsive Soft Energy EVA core. The result is an excellent balance of comfort, ball response and controlled power.

Carbon Aluminized 24K – Stability and Power

The hitting surface is made from Carbon Aluminized 24K, combining carbon fibre with aluminium to create a firm and durable surface.

The material provides a direct and stable response at impact and helps the player generate speed as the pace increases. Together with the softer core, the racquet offers a balanced feel that performs well both defensively and when moving into attack.

Soft Energy EVA – Comfort and Excellent Ball Response

Inside the racquet is Soft Energy EVA, an EVA foam with medium density that provides excellent ball output and a slightly softer feel.

The core helps generate speed even on slower shots while still providing enough response when the player accelerates through the ball.

Dynamic Air Flow – Faster Through the Air

Dynamic Air Flow features openings in the throat area of the racquet to improve airflow and reduce air resistance.

Combined with the low weight, this technology makes the Cross It Light extremely quick to maneuver. This is particularly noticeable during fast volley exchanges, defensive situations close to the glass and situations where quick reactions are essential.

Extra Power Grip – Extended Handle

adidas Extra Power Grip features an extended handle designed to increase leverage and help generate additional power and acceleration on attacking shots.

The longer handle is also an advantage for players who use a two-handed grip, particularly on the backhand.

11 Thirteen – Unique Hole Pattern

The 11 Thirteen technology uses eleven smaller central holes surrounded by thirteen larger holes.

This construction increases the rigidity of the hitting surface and contributes to improved stability, power transfer and durability.

Spin Blade Mold – More Spin

The hitting surface features Spin Blade Mold, an integrated 3D texture that increases contact with the ball and makes it easier to generate spin.

This provides greater possibilities for adding effect to shots such as viboras, bandejas, kick smashes and sliced volleys.

Smart Holes Curve – Optimized Hole Pattern

Smart Holes Curve uses a strategically positioned curved hole pattern that complements the racquet’s overall construction. It contributes to control and helps the player generate spin on different types of shots.

Round Shape and Low Weight

The round shape gives the Cross It Light a centered sweet spot and highly maneuverable characteristics. With a weight of 345–360 grams, it is an excellent option for players who prioritize fast racquet handling.

This makes the racquet particularly suitable for players who want to defend quickly while still having enough stability and power to take the initiative at the net.
