The NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtrem 2027 is developed together with Edu Alonso for players who want the balance of a teardrop with the maneuverability of a lighter build. The 12K Alum Xtrem carbon face and multi-layered MLD Black EVA core deliver a balanced response with a very low swingweight (144 on our scale) that keeps the racket fast in the swing.
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 (144 on our scale). For reference: rackets built purely around power often sit at 165 or higher while control rackets sit around 150. This racket sits clearly below average which makes it extremely fast in the swing.
Our swingweight scale
360 to 375 grams
adjustable (Weight Balance)
In practice: a teardrop shape with the sweetspot slightly higher on the face than a round racket. Combined with our measurement of hardness 63 and swingweight 144 the character on court is versatile: attacking potential from the top of the face with more forgiveness than a pure diamond.
Who suits this racket
Well suited to: professional players: players who want an attacking geometry with more forgiveness than a diamond. The teardrop shape puts the sweetspot slightly higher on the face for attacking shots while keeping a reasonably generous hit zone.
Less suited to: players who look for pure control (a round racket suits better) or maximum smash leverage (a pure diamond suits better). For a sensitive elbow see our selection for padel elbow.
How does this racket play?
The sweetspot of a teardrop sits slightly higher on the face. On our measurement this racket has hardness 63 and swingweight 144. What that means on court: a fast attacking racket that still keeps some forgiveness on off-centre shots.
The technology: what do you notice?
- 12K Alum Xtrem Carbon (the face): carbon fibre with reduced fibre waviness for a smoother more uniform surface. What you notice: consistent response across the face.
- MLD Black EVA (the core): multi-layered EVA that adapts to shot intensity. What you notice: forgiving on control shots and firmer on power shots.
- Dual Spin (the surface): 3D texture with sandblasted finish. What you notice: extra spin on bandeja, vibora and slice.
- 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.
