Adidas Cross It Carbon 2026
Pairs well with
The odd one in the Cross It family, and the most interesting. A diamond oversize head with a head-heavy balance, but built on the Cross It's forgiving platform rather than the Metalbone's hard one.
You get an attacking shape with a Soft Performance core underneath it, which means the power is there on the smash without the harshness that usually comes with it. Oversize means a bigger face than a standard diamond, so the sweet spot is larger than the shape suggests.

Not sure which shape?
Round: sweet spot in the middle, most forgiving. Teardrop: the middle ground, suits most club players. Diamond: sweet spot high, maximum power, least forgiving.
