Who this racket is for
The Adidas Cross IT Team Light 2025 is designed for competition or pro-level players who prioritise performance and precision over comfort. Its round shape concentrates the sweet spot in the center of the face, increasing tolerance and favouring control. The high balance adds weight to the swing and pushes the racket toward an offensive profile. The soft hardness provides feel and helps ball exit for players with slower swing speed. Its 360-375g weight range places it in the medium-weight group, the most common among amateur players.
