The Adidas Cross IT Light Pro EDT 2026 Marta Ortega is a signature, limited-edition racket engineered for World Padel Tour star Marta "Martita" Ortega. Built on Adidas's lightweight aerodynamic platform, it combines a round shape with a low-weight build and dense structural carbon, making it a masterclass in maneuverability, high swing speed, and defensive precision.
Performance Profile
- Maneuverability & Speed: Maximum / Elite. Its reduced static weight (345–360g) combined with Dynamic Air Flow (open airflow channels in the heart) lowers air resistance, allowing lightning-fast adjustments at the net and rapid defensive reaction speeds.
- Control & Precision: Elite. The round shape paired with a large, centered sweet spot provides precise placement, high consistency on lobs, and pinpoint touch during deep defensive exchanges.
- Power & Leverage: Medium-to-High. Despite its lightweight nature, it uses a 24K Aluminized Carbon face structure and the Extra Power Grip (longer handle) to generate high mechanical leverage and ball velocity on smashes and bandejas.
- Comfort & Vibration Control: Very High. Powered by EVA Soft Energy rubber, it cushions hard impacts, minimizes elbow strain, and delivers dynamic trampoline output from the back of the court.
- Spin Potential: Exceptional. Utilizes the Spin Blade Mold 3D surface grid to grip the ball heavily on slice volleys, chiquitas, and topspin lobs.
Best Suited For
- Tactical & Defensive Playmakers: Players who dictate play through speed, placement, low-error play, and relentless defensive retrievals from the back glass.
- Right-Side (Drive) Competitors: Players who prioritize consistency, building points, and rapid counter-attacks at the net over pure overhead force.
- Players Seeking Joint Comfort / Light Weight: Ideal for players looking for a pro-level racket that reduces arm and elbow fatigue without feeling flimsy or soft.
