At 345–360g with a round shape, even balance, and Carbon Aluminized 24K face, it delivers fast swing speeds, effortless net play, and exceptional maneuverability that heavier rackets simply can't match. The Soft Energy EVA core provides a comfortable, forgiving feel on every contact, making it ideal for players who train frequently and want their arm to hold up through intensive sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDesigned for fast, precise, control-led play\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Cross IT Light rewards players who move first, react quickly, and control rallies through placement and consistency.
