The adidas Cross It Carbon Ctrl is built for advanced players who want control-first handling with enough power to put opponents under pressure.
- Shape: Round, so the sweet spot is big and central. Off-centre hits stay in play, giving you control and forgiveness.
- Level: Suits advanced players.
- Face: Carbon, firmer and more direct, turning your swing speed straight into ball speed.
- Balance: Low, handle heavy. The head feels light and quick in your hand, easy at the net.
- Weight: 360-375g, a middle-ground weight most players adapt to quickly.
- Surface: A rough finish grips the ball, making slice and topspin easier to add.
- Standout: The Dynamic Air Flow system cuts air resistance through central frame holes, giving you faster hands at the net and in defence.
- Value: Below advanced level, the round shape and precise feedback would feel unforgiving; you would be paying for a ceiling you cannot reach yet.
- Carbon Aluminised 18K face: A stiff, responsive carbon weave that returns the ball cleanly and consistently. You get precise feedback on every shot, which matters when you are placing the ball rather than simply hitting it hard.
- EVA Soft Performance core: A medium-soft foam that absorbs shock comfortably while still giving you a predictable, responsive feel. It is soft enough to protect your arm, firm enough to let you control depth and pace.
- Dynamic Air Flow system: Central holes in the frame reduce air resistance, so the racket cuts through faster. That translates to quicker swing speed in defence and sharper reactions at the net.
- 11 Thirteen hole pattern: Smaller central holes tighten the sweet spot, adding rigidity and power where you make contact most often. It also improves durability in the high-wear zone.
- Spin Blade Mould surface with Smart Holes Curve: A textured face that grips the ball, making it easier to load topspin on drives and bite on slices. The surface pattern works with the hole layout to amplify spin without you forcing it.
- Extra Power Grip: An extended handle that increases leverage and inertia, giving you more power on attacking shots without needing a head-heavy balance. You keep the control of a low-balance racket but gain extra punch when you need it.
- Carbon 6K frame with structural reinforcement: A strong, stable frame construction that holds its shape under hard hitting. The 3M Protector Tape guards the edges, so the racket stays intact through wall scrapes and floor contact.

How can I guarantee next day delivery?
Order any in-stock item before our daily cut-off and we'll dispatch it the same day on a next day delivery service, free of charge. Everything listed as in stock is sitting in our warehouse ready to go, so there's no waiting on suppliers. Orders placed after the cut-off, on weekends or on bank holidays are dispatched the next working day.

How do I choose the right padel racket for my skill level and playing style?
Start with your level, then your style. As a rough guide: round rackets have a big sweet spot and maximum control, ideal for beginners and defensive players. Teardrop rackets balance power and control, perfect for most intermediate players. Diamond rackets are power-focused with a smaller sweet spot, best for advanced, aggressive players. The quickest way to narrow it down is our Racket Quiz, answer a few questions about your level, style and budget and it'll recommend the best options currently in stock. You can also check out our YouTube channel where we review and test rackets on court, or just message us on WhatsApp and we'll recommend one personally.
