By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you want a round racket that forgives off-centre hits and spares your arm - you win points with placement and patience rather than raw power - you find the standard Rx Series a little heavy and want a lower weight range Skip it if - you want a racket that adds power, since this one and the adidas Adipower Light 3.3 both read Low for power - you need a quick racket for fast hands at the net, where the Head Radical Team Light 2026 reads High for maneuverability against Medium here - you want a review or a measured balance before buying, since neither exists for this racket yet ## How it plays 7.8 **padell.io score 7.8** Play 8.6 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Checked every night. The adidas Rx Series Light 2026 is the lighter of two close relatives. It is listed at 345 to 360 g. The standard [Rx Series](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/rx-series/) is listed at 360 to 375 g. Everything else on the sheet matches. Same core, same face, same shape, same balance label. ## 345 to 360 g against 360 to 375 g: what the Light takes off the Rx Series The [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) is the one real difference between the two. Both use a Soft Performance EVA core, a fiberglass face, a [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), an even balance and 38 mm thickness. The head area is 499 cm2 and the length is 455 mm. What does lower weight change? The maneuverability meter. It reads Medium here and Low on the [standard Rx Series](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/rx-series/). On paper, the Light suits you if you want to swing faster. You can also hold it longer without tiring. Control, comfort and sweet spot read High on both. Power reads Low on both. The Rx family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Series**](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/rx-series/) **Series Light** ## Advanced on the sheet, intermediate on the product page: which player this fits The brand lists the level as Advanced. The product page describes the racket as designed for the intermediate player. Those two labels disagree, and no review settles it. The specs lean towards a forgiving racket. A round shape, a soft core and a High sweet spot reading all help when your contact point is not always clean. An advanced player who values control and a gentle feel can use that. A player still building technique can too. Treat the level label as a rough guide, not a rule. Not a racket for someone who needs the frame to do the hitting, though. ## Soft EVA under fiberglass: why control, comfort and sweet spot read High and power reads Low The meters come from the spec sheet, not from court tests. A soft core raises control, comfort and sweet spot, and lowers power. A fiberglass face raises comfort and lowers both control and power. A round shape raises control, maneuverability and sweet spot, and lowers power. The even balance adds to control and maneuverability. The result is easy to read. You get a racket that absorbs impact and keeps shots in play. You do not get a racket that returns much energy by itself. If you want control over speed, that suits you. If you want pace, you will have to add most of it yourself. ## A carbon insert and a balanced blend, says the product page: what the sheet lists instead The product page claims a carbon fiber insert that adds rigidity and power. It also talks about a blend of control and power in every swing and a hole pattern that reinforces the impact surface. Those are marketing claims from the brand or a shop. The spec sheet lists a fiberglass face and a soft core. It does not list a carbon insert. The power meter reads Low. So treat the power claims with care. The soft, controlled character comes through in the specs, and that is the part you can rely on. ## Rx Series Light, Cross IT Team Light and Adipower Light 3.3: three near-identical sheets The [adidas Cross IT Team Light 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/cross-it-team-light-2026/) has the same weight range, shape, thickness, balance label and level, and the same five meters. On the sheet, nothing separates it from this racket except the name. Only a review or a side-by-side test could show a difference. The [adidas Adipower Light 3.3](https://padell.io/rackets/adidas/adipower-light-3-3/) is from 2024 and is labelled Professional. It shares the weight range, the round shape, the even balance and the same meters. Its face is listed as Alutex fiber, not fiberglass. Mafalda Fernandes is named as its pro player. So if you are comparing these three, the numbers will not decide it. Look at the level label, the face material and what you like the look of. ## No review, no frame, no balance in mm: what you cannot check No review of this racket has been found yet. This page rests on the brand's specs and a retailer's note that the surface is textured. Three things are not published: the frame material, the handle and the weight system. The balance is only given as even, without a measurement in mm. That matters if you are sensitive to how the racket feels in the hand. If you can, hold one before you decide, or wait until a tester has played it.
