The Cross IT CTRL 3.4 is designed for control: low balance, 352 grams, a carbon hitting face and a hard EVA core. The low balance keeps the weight close to your hand, so the racket is easy to handle in defence and in quick exchanges at the net. The hard core returns the ball directly and predictably, but demands an active swing, because on slow shots the face gives little help. The Dynamic Air Flow system is meant to reduce air resistance and so make the swing more efficient.
At 352 g, it is lighter than three quarters of all models in our comparison: quick to handle, but more of the power in attack has to come from your own swing. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; the low balance makes it feel more manoeuvrable than its weight suggests. The hard core gives direct feedback on clean contact but is less forgiving. With power 6 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision – but among head-light round rackets it offers a lot of power: 79% of them score lower.
With a forgiveness rating of 6.9 out of 10, it is easy-going, even though 83% of the round models in our comparison leave even more margin for error. Hard core and low balance: only 4 of the 507 models we compare have this combination. 5 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €174.90 to €234 – a €59 difference for the same model.
Intermediate players with clean technique who want to place the ball precisely from defence and react quickly at the net.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 6.9 out of 10 – forgiving, wide hitting area.
The Adidas Cross IT CTRL 3.4 2025 weighs 352 g and has a round shape, a low (manoeuvrable) balance and a hard core (EVA). The frame is made of Carbon.
Not by our rule: the core is hard. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
