With the Adidas Cross It Light 2026, you get the newest generation of the Marta Ortega line, designed for players who want a light, precise and extremely maneuverable control racket. The model continues the series’ focus on quick handling and technical precision but takes a step up in power thanks to the high-performing Carbon Aluminized 24K surface and a newly optimized energy core. You get a racket that reacts quickly, moves effortlessly through the air and gives you confidence both in defensive situations and in more offensive play close to the net.

Racket Construction

The Cross It Light 2026 features a round head shape, a weight of 345–360 grams and a neutral balance, providing maneuverability and control in every stroke. The centered sweetspot helps you guide the ball accurately even under pressure, and the Carbon Fiber frame combined with the 38 mm profile creates a light but stable structure that makes the racket comfortable and easy to maneuver in both net play and defense.

The core is built with EVA Soft Energy, giving you a soft and comfortable impact feel while delivering a livelier response in offensive shots compared with classic Soft Performance. The Carbon Aluminized 24K hitting surface is one of Adidas’ most reactive materials, providing significant power potential without sacrificing control or touch in technical rallies.

Spin Blade Mold adds friction against the ball’s felt, helping you generate spin and variation in volleys, bandejas and viboras, while Smart Holes Curve supports the sweetspot and ensures a consistent response across the entire face. Dynamic Air Flow in the bridge reduces air resistance and increases swing speed, making the racket feel even lighter in the hand. The extended Extra Power Grip improves reach and increases swing inertia, helping you create more acceleration even in a control-focused setup.

Adidas Cross It Light 2026 vs. Cross It Light 3.4 2025

The Cross It Light 2026 builds on the principles of the 3.4 model but feels more stable and more responsive across the hitting surface. The Carbon Aluminized 24K surface continues as the signature of the series but is now combined with an optimized swing flow through Dynamic Air Flow and a refined Soft Energy core that delivers a livelier yet still comfortable response. Both models are round and easy to maneuver, but the 2026 version reacts faster in overhead situations and provides a more direct contact without losing the control and lightness the series is known for.
