The Cross It 3.4 is Adidas's answer to the mid-range teardrop bracket in 2025. Carbon fiber face, EVA core, teardrop shape - a sensible combination for players who want performance across the full court.
Who should buy the Adidas Cross It 34 2025?
The Cross It 34 2025 is a teardrop-shaped racket weighing 355 to 370g, built around a carbon fibre face and an EVA core. It is Adidas's mid-range teardrop for 2025 - a sensible combination for players who want performance across the full court.
Right pick if you're an intermediate-to-advanced player who wants a versatile teardrop with good all-court performance. Wrong pick if you're a beginner or anyone wanting maximum power output.
How does the Cross It 34 play?
Unlike the Metalbone, which is built for power, the Cross It is tuned for versatility. The slightly lower balance point makes it more manoeuvrable at the net while still delivering enough pace from the back. Players who play the full court will find it adaptable.
It is not the most powerful in its class, but its balance of touch and pace suits competitive club players who move between positions.
What is it made of?
The carbon fibre face delivers genuine pace, paired with an EVA core, in a teardrop shape for versatility. The carbon demands better technique than fibreglass, but it gives more performance than entry-level constructions.
How does it compare to its rivals?
At its price it competes with the Nox AT10 Pro Cup series and the Bullpadel Vertex 04 Hybrid. The Cross It 34 has better touch than the Nox and more power than the Bullpadel hybrid. Within the Adidas range it is the versatile all-court teardrop versus the power-focused Metalbone.
Final verdict
The Cross It 34 2025 is a well-balanced teardrop for competitive club players who play the full court, with carbon fibre pace, good net manoeuvrability, and solid mid-range value. It is not the most powerful in its class, the carbon face demands better technique than fibreglass, and it is less distinctive than the Metalbone line. For all-court intermediate-to-advanced player it is well-judged. For anyone else, the trade-offs noted above outweigh the upsides.
