Design details

Dynamic Air Flow technology

DAF technology optimises the throat racket for an aerodynamic structure (rigid, agile and light). Air flows better through the throat for more power and speed on every hit without compromising control when setting up for your shot. The faster your racket swings through the air, the more speed your strokes will have.

Power Extra Grip technology

A longer handle to shift the weight towards the head and create a higher swingweight with a higher sweet spot for more power.

Eleven 13 technology

Innovative arrangement of holes in the centre of the racket, with a larger-than-usual diameter for greater stiffness. This increases both durability and power.

Structural Reinforcement technology

Reinforcements all along the racket edge for optimal resistance to high-torque shots.

Spin Blade Mold technology

The racket surface has a rough 3D surface. This innovation creates excellent level of friction with the ball for better spin and a unique level of control.

Adidas Cross IT Light: The racket used by Martita Ortega in 2024

The new Adidas Cross IT Light is the racket used by Martita Ortega (WPT no. 6). This model was designed for demanding players who want control on the court.

Who is this product designed for?

The Cross IT Light was designed for advanced players looking to perfect their game through exceptional performance. This light and durable model offers a surprising number of features for offensive players. This is due to the high-quality materials that go into it, such as the aluminised carbon on the surface that gives your shots more power.

Weight: 345–360 g.

The weight is measured in grammes. Just like the balance point, it impacts a racket's swingweight and therefore its manoeuvrability, stability and ability to transfer energy to the ball (power). The heavier the racket, the more power you'll get, but the harder it will be to handle. Conversely, the lighter the racket, the easier it will be to handle, but the less powerful it will be.

Balance: Medium

This is the racket balance point, measured in millimetres from the bottom of the racket handle. The larger the number (head-heavy balance), the more power and stability you'll get from the racket and the heavier it will feel (even if it's not a heavy racket). However, you'll have to give up some manoeuvrability. The smaller the number (low balance), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.

Head size: 460 sq cm

This is the surface area of the racket head size measured in squared centimetres. It has an impact on the racket's forgiveness and power. The larger the head size, the more powerful and forgiving it is, but the downside is less control. The smaller the head size, the greater the feeling of control, but you sacrifice some power and forgiveness.

External material: Carbon Aluminised 24K

Racket surface made from Carbon Aluminised 24K for maximum power. This material is responsive to give you a dynamic and unrivalled feel, striking an excellent balance between power and comfort.

Internal material: EVA Soft Energy

Optimal control and fast ball release thanks to its elasticity and good vibration dampening properties.
