Adidas Cross IT Light 3.4 Pro EDT Series 2025 Padel racket

Introduction

The Adidas Cross It Light 3.4 Pro EDT Series 2025 padel racket is a special edition designed for advanced players in collaboration with professional player Martita Ortega, who are looking for a versatile racket: light enough for maneuverability, technical enough for control, and power enough to make a difference. It is designed for those who want to play all positions on the court while maintaining precision, spin, and comfort.

Materials

This racket stands out for its use of 24K aluminized carbon on the hitting surfaces, which provides rigidity and durability while maintaining good responsiveness. The core is made of Soft Energy EVA foam, whose medium density offers a good compromise between comfort, vibration absorption, and ball output. The frame is made of carbon, with integrated reinforcement technologies to withstand the stresses of play.

Weight

The Cross It Light 3.4 Pro EDT 2025 weighs between 345 and 360 grams, placing it in the "light to medium" category for a premium racket. This weight range reduces arm fatigue while maintaining good stability on powerful shots.

Shape

This racket has a round shape, which ensures forgiveness and good control. Thanks to this shape, the sweet spot (the optimal hitting zone) is larger, which helps with ball placement, defensive play, and volleys without the racket being too demanding on the accuracy of off-center shots.

Playing style

The recommended playing style for this racket is focused on control and versatility, with the ability to string together long rallies, place spin, play defensively or moderately offensively. It is particularly suitable for players who want good touch, precision, and fluid play, capable of switching between attack and fender without sacrificing power.

Technologies

The Cross It Light 3.4 Pro EDT Series 2025 incorporates several innovations developed by Adidas to optimize performance. Dynamic Air Flow technology improves aerodynamics by reducing air resistance through specific openings in the core of the racket, allowing for better responsiveness and maneuverability in every stroke. The Power Extra Grip, with its extended handle, offers a more stable grip and increases inertia, resulting in more powerful and accurate shots. The 11 Thirteen system intelligently distributes the holes in the head by combining eleven smaller central holes with thirteen larger ones around the perimeter to increase stiffness, durability, and power in the optimal hitting zone. To enhance spin, the surface features Spin Blade Mold technology, a textured finish integrated directly into the mold that grips the ball better and facilitates topspin and backspin shots. Finally, the use of 24K aluminized carbon reinforces the structure, ensures excellent responsiveness, and gives the racket an ideal balance between strength and energy return.

Design

The Cross It Light 3.4 Pro EDT Series 2025 has a sleek, high-end design. It features a matte finish with understated, elegant details that highlight the technology without visual overload. The "Pro EDT" series adds a touch of exclusivity, particularly in the details and colors, inspired by the style of Martita Ortega, making it as aesthetically pleasing as it is high-performance.
