Who this racket is for

The Adidas Cross IT Carbon Blue By Maxi Arce 2025 targets advanced players with consolidated technique who want more performance without yet moving to a pure competition racket. Its diamond shape moves the sweet spot to the top of the face, giving more leverage and power at the cost of some tolerance. The medium balance keeps a balanced behaviour between baseline shots and volleys. The medium hardness offers a reasonable compromise between impact absorption and shot response. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.

Pros

Cons
