Adult Padel Racket Adidas Cross It Ctrl 2024

Who is this padel racket for?

The Adidas Cross It Ctrl is designed for regular padel players who compete at a high level and have a control-oriented playing style.

Balance: low (handle-heavy), 265 mm

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 (grip biased or handle heavy), the easier the racket will be to handle, but the less power and stability you'll get.

Weight: 360-375 g.

The weight is measured in grams. Just like the balance point, the weight 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.

DYNAMIC AIR FLOW

Aerodynamics are entering the padel world. This technology reduces air resistance at the core of the racket. Gain speed on your strokes, particularly the most powerful ones.

This innovative system optimises air circulation by using slits at the core of the frame and provides greater power and speed.

ELEVEN 13

A new distribution of holes to improve the racket's durability and power. They are smaller holes than usual. They can be found in the centre of the head. This makes that area stiffer and more substantial.

EXTRA POWER GRIP

The racket's grip is longer than usual.

HIGH MEMORY EVA

Flexible foam with great shape memory for a better ball release.
