How It Plays
The Cross It Light is quick and precise. The low weight helps at the net, and the round head keeps the sweet spot large and central.
The 24K face is stiff, so the ball comes off crisply when you swing through it. The soft core stops it feeling harsh on blocks and volleys.
Power is decent for the weight, but this is a control racket first. It suits players who win points with placement.
