Pros
- Great power and control for a light racket - it generates a lot of variety for me. Medium hardness. Test model weighs 353 and balances at 26cm.
- Great control - wonderful defensive game.
- Large, centrally located sweet spot. If it had been slightly higher, it would make X3 easier for me, but as it is, it's easier to use.
Cons
- May not suit all play styles

"I recommend this racket for intermediate and advanced players seeking a lighter racket with a central sweet spot and a long handle. Like with the rest of the Cross IT range, I immediately noticed the longer handle. It is much longer than the other Adidas models."
