PRE-ORDER: This product is available for pre-order and will be shipped starting October 19. Please note that orders containing this item will not be dispatched before this date.
The NOX Ventus Control 12K 2027 is developed together with Aránzazu Osoro. A round-shaped racket with a large sweetspot, a soft MLD Black EVA core and a 12K carbon face, built for players who value precision and control over pure power. The low hardness (60 on our scale) and maneuverable swingweight make this one of the most forgiving rackets in the Ventus range.
Our measurement
The key characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Objective measurements, no marketing claims.
Very soft (60 on our scale). The ball sinks deep into the face and bounces back softly. Very forgiving on shots that do not land exactly in the middle with fewer vibrations to your arm.
Our hardness scale
Maneuverable (151 on our scale). For reference: rackets built purely around power often sit at 165 or higher while control rackets sit around 150. This racket stays fast in the swing and maneuverable at the net.
Our swingweight scale
360 to 375 grams
adjustable (Weight Balance)
In practice: a round racket with a large centred sweetspot. Forgiving on shots that do not land exactly in the middle. Combined with our measurement of hardness 60 and swingweight 151 the character on court is a maneuverable racket built around precision.
Who suits this racket
Well suited to: advanced players: players who value control and precision. The round shape gives you the largest sweetspot and the most forgiveness, which keeps shots consistent even under pressure.
Less suited to: players who want maximum attacking leverage on the smash. For pure power a diamond suits better. For a sensitive elbow see our selection for padel elbow.
How does this racket play?
The sweetspot of a round sits centrally on the face. On our measurement this racket has hardness 60 and swingweight 151. What that means on court: a maneuverable comfortable racket suited to control and precision.
The technology: what do you notice?
- 12K Carbon (the face): vertical and horizontal woven carbon that is 25% lighter than standard while maintaining stiffness. What you notice: light responsive face.
- MLD Black EVA (the core): multi-layered EVA with soft feel. What you notice: forgiving response and comfortable feel on the arm.
- Dual Spin (the surface): 3D texture with sandblasted finish. What you notice: extra grip for spin generation on control shots.
- Weight Balance: interchangeable 2 gram and 4 gram counterweights that sit in the handle, adjustable without tools up to 8 grams total. Add weight for a more head-heavy attacking feel or leave it off for maximum maneuverability.
- EOS Tunnel: lateral perforations in the frame that improve airflow through the head. What you notice: the racket moves easily through the swing despite its professional-level build.
- VCS (Vibration Control System): a high-performance elastomer inside the handle that absorbs impact. NOX claims a 60% reduction in vibration compared to their previous system. What you notice: less shock through the wrist and elbow especially on off-center shots.
- Pulse System: lateral rubber inserts in the frame that further reduce vibrations transmitted to the hand.
- Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS): the frame material extends into the face area which prevents surface cracking at the frame-face junction and creates a more uniform feel across the hitting surface.
- Custom Grip®: NOX's patented grip technology certified by Testea Padel. Better hold and reduced vibration transmission.
- Smart Strap: quick-release safety strap. Hygienic and adjustable to personal preference.
- Carbon Frame: full carbon frame construction that provides rigidity and durability across the entire racket.
