ADIDAS Cross IT Light PRO EDT 2026 Padel Racket Marta Ortega

The Adidas Cross It Light Pro EDT 2026 Padel Racket is a limited edition high-end padel racket created in collaboration with Marta Ortega for players who value fluid movement, consistency, and precise control in every rally. Built around a round shape with an even balance and centred sweet spot, this racket is engineered to support a smooth and rhythmic playing style that allows quick movement and clean shot placement from the first point to the last. It is the ideal choice for professional and advanced players who want a racket that responds naturally to their game and builds confidence through comfort and effortless handling.

Material and Construction
The hitting surface is constructed from 24K aluminised carbon, a premium high-grade carbon material that delivers a firm and precise feel across the entire face. This advanced carbon construction maximises energy transfer at the moment of contact, ensuring that every shot is executed with accuracy and consistency regardless of pace or position on the court. Structural reinforcement technology strengthens the frame at key stress zones, increasing overall durability and resistance to the wear generated by repeated competitive use over time.

Performance Benefits
The round shape places the sweet spot at the centre of the hitting face, giving players a generous and forgiving contact zone that supports consistent and accurate ball placement across a wide range of shot types. The even balance distributes weight uniformly across the frame, making the racket easy to manoeuvre during fast transitions, quick volleys, and lateral defensive movements without sacrificing stability or control. At 345-360g, the racket sits in a weight range that keeps handling light and responsive throughout extended match sessions. Players who build their game around rhythm, placement, and confidence will find this racket performs naturally and reliably to that standard across every rally.

Technology Explanation
Dynamic Air Flow uses open holes positioned in the heart of the racket to reduce air resistance during the swing. By allowing air to pass through the frame more freely, this system increases the manoeuvrability of the racket head and allows players to generate faster and more fluid swing paths without additional effort, supporting quick and controlled shot execution across all areas of the court.

11 Thirteen refers to the design of the hole pattern across the hitting surface. The eleven central holes are of a smaller diameter than the remaining thirteen surrounding holes. This arrangement provides greater rigidity and power in the central impact zone while improving the overall durability of the hitting face, ensuring consistent performance across repeated contact over time.

Spin Blade Mold applies a textured surface treatment to the carbon face that increases friction between the ball and the racket at the moment of contact. This enhanced grip allows players to generate more spin on topspin drives, slice shots, and angled plays, adding variety and unpredictability to their game without requiring any change in swing mechanics.

The Power Extra Grip is a longer grip design that increases inertia by shifting leverage further towards the head of the racket. This added length enhances power output on attacking shots and smashes, giving players additional force without requiring a harder swing, and making every offensive stroke feel more decisive and authoritative.

Design
The Cross It Pro EDT 2026 carries the premium limited edition aesthetic of the Cross It line, combining the visual identity of Marta Ortega with a design built for players who express their game through elegance, control, and fluid precision. It is a racket that looks and performs like a professional tool, crafted for players who want to compete with the confidence and style of one of padels most recognisable names.
