The Adidas Cross IT Light Pro EDT 2026 is Marta Ortega's limited edition signature racket — the third chapter of the PRO EDT 2026 collection alongside Ale Galán's Metalbone and Ari Sánchez's Arrow Hit. Where the Metalbone Pro EDT channels raw offensive power, the Cross IT Pro EDT is built around a different kind of excellence: total control, fluid movement, and the intelligent precision that defines Martita's game. Finished in an exclusive deep blue and navy palette, delivered in a special edition presentation box, and produced in limited numbers — this is the definitive Cross IT for players who take padel seriously.

Designed for control, placement and fluid court coverage

The Cross IT Pro EDT 2026 is built for players who dominate through intelligence rather than force. Its round shape centres the sweet spot for reliable contact from any position on court. The even balance keeps the racket neutral and fast in the hand — quick to redirect at the net, easy to control on defensive contacts, and comfortable through long sessions without arm fatigue. The 24K aluminised carbon face provides crisp, direct feedback on every contact, while the EVA Soft Performance core cushions impact and generates effortless depth on placement shots. This is a racket that rewards precision, rhythm, and technical fluency — the qualities that make Marta Ortega one of the best movers in padel.

Technologies

• Carbon Aluminized 24K face — a premium 24K aluminised carbon weave delivering exceptional stiffness, responsiveness, and clean ball feedback on every contact. Produces precise, direct ball output for controlled placement from any court position.
• EVA Soft Performance core — a soft-touch EVA rubber core that provides a comfortable, forgiving response at impact. Absorbs vibration, reduces arm fatigue across long sessions, and generates consistent, effortless ball output on placement shots.
• Dynamic Air Flow (DAF) — strategically placed open holes in the heart of the frame reduce air resistance during the swing, increasing racket head speed and making every movement feel lighter and faster. Essential for the quick, reactive net game the Cross IT is built for.
• 11 Thirteen hole pattern — 24 holes distributed across two different diameters: smaller central holes that increase structural rigidity and enhance power transfer, surrounded by larger outer holes for improved aerodynamics and feel. Increases overall frame durability under intensive play.
• Spin Blade Mold — a 3D moulded surface texture that provides a rough, grippy face finish for enhanced ball contact, generating spin on lobs, slice returns, and topspin drives with minimal extra effort.
• Extra Power Grip — an extended handle that increases inertia and leverage on power shots, adding speed and energy transfer on overheads and volleys without compromising the racket's control-oriented character.
• Structural Reinforcement — reinforced frame construction designed to withstand high-impact play at competitive level, maintaining structural integrity and consistent performance throughout intensive use.

The PRO EDT 2026 collection

The PRO EDT 2026 is Adidas' most exclusive annual padel release — three limited edition rackets, one for each of their star players, each carrying the same soul they play with on the professional circuit. Ale Galán's Metalbone Pro EDT brings raw power. Ari Sánchez's Arrow Hit Pro EDT brings explosive attacking speed. And Marta Ortega's Cross IT Pro EDT brings something different entirely: the elegance, control, and fluid intelligence of a player who wins by reading the game before anyone else does. Each racket in the PRO EDT collection ships in exclusive presentation packaging — a collector's experience that begins before you even open the box.

The Marta Ortega connection

Marta "Martita" Ortega is one of padel's most technically accomplished players — a World No.1 who wins through precision, speed, and court intelligence rather than brute force. The Cross IT Pro EDT 2026 was developed in direct collaboration with her team to reflect her specific demands on court: lightweight enough for explosive first steps, precise enough for surgical ball placement, and comfortable enough to sustain peak performance across a full match. The deep blue and navy design is drawn directly from her personal aesthetic — clean, confident, and unmistakably Martita.

Who is this racket for?

The Cross IT Pro EDT 2026 is ideal for advanced players who dominate through control and placement rather than power, want a lightweight round racket with limited edition status, play 3+ times per week and demand both performance and exclusivity, and want Martita Ortega's exact pro specification in a frame available outside the tour. If you want the most powerful racket in the PRO EDT collection, see the Metalbone Pro EDT 2026.
