NOX padel technology

Aluminised Carbon Face (12K & 18K)

Carbon weave faces that set the racket's character. The 18K versions lean toward control and comfort, while the 12K Xtrem versions give a firmer, more powerful response.

MLD – Multilayer Distribution

NOX's layered construction that optimises how weight and materials are distributed through the frame, improving stability and consistent power transfer.

SCS – Smart Connector System

A reinforced connection between the handle and head that increases stability and reduces vibration for a cleaner, more comfortable feel at contact.

Which NOX racket does Agustín Tapia use?

Agustín Tapia plays NOX's Genius range, the 2027 name for his AT10 line. It includes the versatile Genius 18K Alum teardrop and the high-balance Genius Attack diamonds, so you can choose Tapia's racket for all-court play or for pure attack.

What is the difference between the Genius and the Genius Attack?

The Genius is a teardrop that balances control and power for all-court players. The Genius Attack is a diamond with a higher balance, built for explosive smashes and aggressive net play.

What is the NOX Ventus?

The Ventus is NOX's pro-player family, used by Edu Alonso, Aimar Goñi, Miguel Lamperti and Aranzazu Osoro. Every 2027 model has the VCS anti-vibration handle and Weight Balance counterweights, so you can fine-tune the balance to your game.

What do 12K and 18K mean on NOX rackets?

They describe the carbon weave on the face: the number is how many thousand carbon filaments make up each strand of the weave. The way a racket plays also depends on its core, shape and balance, so compare the full specifications on each product page rather than choosing on the number alone.

Which NOX padel racket is best for beginners?

The X-Hero and X-Zero. They are round, forgiving rackets with soft HR3 White EVA cores and a large sweet spot, so they are comfortable and easy to control while you learn.

Is the NOX Equation good for intermediate players?

Yes. The Equation is round, comfortable and forgiving, with a large sweet spot. Choose the Soft for comfort, the Hard for a crisper response, or the Lady Advanced Series for a lighter racket.

Can I trade in my old racket for a new NOX racket?

Yes. We accept racket trade-ins on any brand, so you can put the value of your current racket towards a new NOX model.

Are NOX rackets covered by a warranty?
