Adidas
Take command of the match and dictate the pace of every rally with the adidas Cross IT Ctrl 2026 padel racket. This racket elevates control to its maximum expression, giving you the precision and confidence to place the ball exactly where you want it. Its round design centers the weight perfectly, providing unmatched stability and total control in every phase of the game.
Experience explosive speed and effortless swing acceleration thanks to the DYNAMIC AIR FLOW system, which reduces air resistance through strategically placed holes in the center of the racket. The high-density EVA High Memory core delivers a reactive, firm ball output, complemented by the solid feel of the Carbon Aluminized 15K surface, ensuring the ideal mix of stiffness and comfort. The EXTRA POWER GRIP extends the grip length to increase inertia and power in shots, while the SPIN BLADE MOLD texture allows you to apply clean, precise spin on every cut and topspin shot.
Additionally, the innovative 11 Thirteen hole pattern—with eleven smaller diameter central holes and thirteen larger outer holes—provides greater rigidity, power, and durability. This year, adidas introduces a new adjustable rope cord with a padded wrist strap for maximum wrist comfort, making the Cross IT Ctrl 2026 a perfect blend of technology, comfort, and performance.
