adidas Cross It Carbon CTRL 2026 – control, stability and modern carbon feel
adidas Cross It Carbon CTRL 2026 is a control-oriented padel racket developed for players who want precision, stability and a confident ball feel in every shot. The model suits intermediate recreational players as well as competitive players who prioritise placement, defensive play and consistent contact, while still wanting enough speed when transitioning to attack.
The racket features a round shape and a more balanced weight distribution, creating a large sweet spot and making it forgiving on off-centre hits. The construction provides stability in returns, blocks and volleys while also offering good control in the build-up phase of play.
The carbon fibre face delivers a solid and precise ball response, while the core provides comfort and playable speed. The result is a racket that offers reliable control throughout the entire match.
Technologies in the racket
Carbon Construction
Carbon fibre in both the face and frame creates a stable construction with high responsiveness, strong durability and improved shot precision.
Dynamic Air Flow
Strategically placed openings in the frame reduce air resistance and allow the racket to move faster through the air, improving manoeuvrability.
Structural Reinforcement
Frame reinforcements reduce twisting on impact and increase stability, providing a more consistent ball contact.
Spin Surface / Texture
The textured hitting surface makes it easier to generate effect in slices, drop shots and controlled volleys.
EVA Core Performance
The softer EVA core absorbs vibrations and increases comfort while maintaining good ball speed.
