Our measurement
The key characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Objective measurements, no marketing claims.
Soft (63 on our scale). The ball sinks nicely into the face and bounces back smoothly. Forgiving and comfortable for players who value feel.
Our hardness scale
Maneuverable (153 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
medium
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 63 and swingweight 153 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 63 and swingweight 153. What that means on court: a maneuverable comfortable racket suited to control and precision.
The technology: what do you notice?
- Silver Fiberglass (the face): fibreglass with a metallic aluminium finish. What you notice: stiffness between pure carbon and standard fibreglass for a solid but comfortable feel.
- HR3 Soft EVA (the core): low-density EVA rubber for a softer response. What you notice: ball rebounds smoothly with a comfortable feel for control and precision.
- Exclusive Spin (the surface): 3D hexagonal texture in the centre paired with a sandblasted finish elsewhere. What you notice: extra grip on the ball for spin generation.
- EOS Flap: side perforations in the frame that improve maneuverability and weight distribution.
- 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.
