adidas Cross It Light Pro Padel Racket 2026

A UK retailer lists the Pro Edition with a weight of 345 to 360 g, an even balance, a 38 mm profile, a 455 mm length and a centred sweet spot. The face is 24K carbon aluminised with a moulded texture, on a carbon frame. The technology list includes Dynamic Air Flow, Extra Power Grip, a 3D Spin Blade mould and Structural Reinforcement.

The same listing describes it as focused on internal strength and agile, aerodynamic movement, aimed at force and speed, spin and durability. It says the racket carries Marta Ortega's signature and belongs to a special edition representing three players: Ale Galán, Marta Ortega and Ari Sánchez.

The page contradicts itself in places. It lists the head as diamond in one spot and round in another, and names the core as both EVA Soft Energy and EVA Soft Performance. Other retailers and the licensee's data list the Light line as round, so we treat it as round.

Everything we can compare matches: round, 345 to 360 g, 24K face, even balance, 38 mm. The standard racket is a retailer-listed Martita Ortega model too, with a different reference code, so the Pro Edition looks like a special-edition version of the same racket. The listing does not say what changes beyond the edition and the signature.

For the standard racket, with Padelful scores for handling and rebound, see the Cross It Light. If you want more weight and a bigger sweet spot, the Cross It Ctrl sits a band heavier.

Anyone who wants proof before they buy, power from the racket or a forgiving feel. A light racket with a 24K face is quick but gives little free power, and we found no independent test of this edition. Beginners should start on the beginner padel racket picks, and anyone wanting more pace can look at the advanced padel rackets.
