Ratings out of 10 by Padelful.
Both are round rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
Feel: medium-hard for the Adidas Cross IT CTRL 2026, medium for the Lok Carbon Flow Gen 2 2026. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
Faces: 15K aluminized carbon versus C6 carbon fiber.
