How to think about this racket
What it is
Cross It Light 2026 is Martita Ortega’s racket on the official adidas store: Dynamic Air Flow, Extra Power Grip, 11 Thirteen hole pattern, Soft Energy EVA and Aluminized Carbon 24K. Shape/weight keys are omitted where the collection card did not publish a full spec table.
Who it's for
Advanced players who want a faster Cross It carbon, not the Team glass versions.
How it plays
Official line is maneuverability, precision and controlled power with a solid touch from 24K alum + Soft Energy EVA.
Power vs control
Cross It family is adidas’s control/agility line versus Metalbone power. Light is the Ortega carbon model; CTRL is the High Memory control model.
Handling
Dynamic Air Flow and Extra Power Grip are the handling claims. Light is in the name.
Comfort
Soft Energy EVA is specified for ball output with a solid touch.
Sweet spot / forgiveness
More agile Cross It than a Metalbone diamond; still pro carbon.

24K aluminised carbon, Soft Energy EVA, Dynamic Air Flow, 11 Thirteen holes.
