Specifiche
The Cross It Light 2026 trades raw power for a fast head, a wide centred sweet spot, and low arm strain. Its quickness comes from the drilling and the even balance rather than from mass, and it rewards a game won by positioning and hands rather than by pace. Anyone whose points end with a flat smash, or who wants a stiff frame with weight in the head, is better served by Adidas's diamond-shaped, head-heavy models.
- Quick through net exchanges and defensive transitions.
- Wide centred sweet spot.
- Low arm strain.
- Workable spin on bandeja and víbora.
- Power is the weakest attribute: flat smashes and full-speed bandejas rely on the player's swing rather than the frame.
- Less resistance on the hardest incoming shots.
- Head speed comes from the drilling and the even balance rather than from low mass; at 345–360 g this is not a light racket in absolute terms.
The adidas Metalbone CTRL 2026 is the round, low balance, control focused flagship of the Metalbone range, built around 16K aluminized carbon faces and a genuinely adjustable Weight and Balance System. It excels in defense, on the overhead game, and on off centre contact, trading some raw smash power and instant net pace for a wider, more forgiving margin. It suits an advanced to PRO player who wants to shape points with precision and is willing to fine tune the racket's setup, more than a player chasing the sharpest possible finish.
- Genuinely adjustable weight and balance through the Weight and Balance System, not a fixed configuration.
- Generous, centered sweet spot that holds up well on off centre contact.
- Reliable, low effort defense from the baseline.
- Strong, controlled overhead game on the bandeja and víbora.
- Raw power on the smash falls behind the diamond shaped Metalbone models.
- Net play needs a moment to accelerate rather than delivering instant pace.
- Getting the most from the Weight and Balance System takes deliberate setup, not a plug and play adjustment.
- Priced above the Metalbone Carbon CTRL for a control profile a less expensive frame partly covers.
