What's New in the NOX 2027 Collection?
Padel brands typically announce updates and innovations at the end of the previous competitive year, and NOX has incorporated updated molds and materials into the new collection. Here are the headline technologies for 2027:
-
VCS system: A high performance elastomer damper built into the handle of Genius and Ventus models. The VCS system reduces vibrations by up to 60%, improving comfort and protecting the arm during long sessions.
-
EOS Tunnel and EOS Flap: Refined mould geometries with aerodynamic drilling on selected Luxury models. The EOS Tunnel improves aerodynamics and manoeuvrability, while EOS Flap aids weight distribution across Classic and Luxury tiers.
-
Weight Balance system: Interchangeable counterweights let players add up to 8 g to fine-tune the racket's balance - shifting head weight for power or toward the handle for control. This acts as a custom grip on the racket's overall feel.
-
Dual Spin surface: A combination of 3D relief texture plus silica sand finish used across many NOX rackets to help players generate spin on bandejas, viboras and kick smashes. The Dual Spin finish enhances control and spin generation without compromising durability.
-
Carbon and face materials: The collection uses 3K, 12K and 18K carbon faces alongside fibreglass on Advanced and some Classic models. Different carbon densities are not simply "more is better" - 18K offers greater stiffness and thermal stability for a precise ball output, while 12K balances responsiveness with comfort. Fibreglass faces deliver a softer feel suited to developing players.
-
Chromic paint: Select models feature chromic paint finishes as part of NOX's updated aesthetic design language.
For UK players, these changes translate to more arm comfort in colder court conditions, consistent performance across temperature shifts, and easier customisation of feel through the Weight Balance system.
NOX Luxury Series 2027
The luxury range represents the top technical tier within the NOX 2027 padel racket collection, split into Genius (Agustín Tapia) and Ventus families. The Luxury Genius series features advanced carbon materials and aerodynamic designs across every model.
-
Luxury models target advanced players and competitors with established technique and clear playing style preferences.
-
Shared characteristics include higher-quality carbon faces (3K, 12K or 18K), EOS Tunnel mould innovation, Weight Balance customisation, Dual Spin surface for enhanced spin, and VCS anti-vibration technology.
-
NOX Genius 2027: closely associated with Agustín Tapia, spanning versatile teardrop and aggressive diamond shapes.
-
NOX Ventus 2027: associated with Miguel Lamperti, Aranzazu Osoro, Edu Alonso and Aimar Goñi, with a stronger emphasis on control, stability and all-round performance.
NOX Genius 2027

The Genius family is Agustín Tapia's signature line, and it covers five models that differ in shape, carbon construction and feel. The five Genius models are:
The Genius models feature a teardrop shape for balanced play, combining control with offensive capability. Teardrop-shaped rackets balance defence and attack, making them effective for intermediate and advanced players who mix creative shot-making with consistency. The Genius Attack models use a diamond shape for offensive play - diamond-shaped rackets are designed for attacking players, focusing on power and momentum from smashes and overheads.
At face-material level, the 18K models deliver a more solid, direct response with greater stiffness - suited to the advanced player who wants maximum precision. The 12K constructions balance stiffness with comfort, providing a versatile attacking platform. Both the Genius 18K 2027 and Genius Attack 18K 2027 use an MLD Black EVA core for dense, responsive feedback, while the MLD Black EVA face construction contributes to a direct ball output on every stroke.
The NOX Genius 12K Xtrem Lite 2027 by Agustín Tapia is the most manoeuvrable Genius option. The Genius 12K Xtrem Lite weighs between 350–360 g, making the racket easier to swing quickly at the net. It uses a softer core for enhanced comfort, ideal for players prioritising quick reactions and reduced arm strain.
All Genius models share Dual Spin textured faces for spin, VCS in the handle, and refined mould geometry for improved speed through the air.
NOX Ventus 2027

Ventus is the other Luxury subfamily, designed around control, stability and tailored playing styles. The five Ventus models are:
-
NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027
-
NOX Ventus 12K 2027 by Aranzazu Osoro
-
NOX Ventus 3K 2027 by Miguel Lamperti
-
NOX Ventus Attack 12K Xtreme 2027 by Aimar Goñi
-
NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtreme 2027 by Edu Alonso
By role, NOX positions the Ventus family across three categories. Control-oriented round models like the NOX Ventus 12K 2027 by Aranzazu Osoro and NOX Ventus 3K 2027 by Miguel Lamperti prioritise precision. The hybrid/teardrop models - NOX Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtreme 2027 by Edu Alonso and NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027 - serve as all round racket options. The NOX Ventus Attack 12K Xtreme 2027 by Aimar Goñi is a diamond-shape attack model with an oversize grip extension for leverage on two-handed shots.
The NOX Ventus 3K 2027 by Miguel Lamperti uses 3K carbon for a precise, direct feel with strong control, while the remaining models use 12K carbon for a firmer response and a blend of power and touch. The Lite version offers lower weight for players who want manoeuvrability and less arm fatigue.
Compared to Genius, Ventus focuses slightly more on precision, stability and traditional control - particularly in the Aranzazu Osoro and Miguel Lamperti signature rackets - while Genius suits players looking for a more attacking or creative game.
NOX Classic Series 2027

The Classic Series is home to the legendary Pro Cup and ML10 family - ideal for players who value a traditional, comfortable feel with modern technology. The five Classic models are:
-
NOX ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface 2027
-
NOX ML10 Pro Cup Light 2027
-
NOX ML10 Pro Cup Coorp 2027 by Miguel Lamperti
-
NOX Pro Cup Soft 2027 by Agustín Tapia
-
NOX Pro Cup Hard 2027 by Agustín Tapia
Classic NOX rackets are typically round or teardrop, prioritising control, a generous sweet spot and a comfortable feel. Round rackets prioritise control and forgiveness in play, making the ML10 line a dependable choice for defensive and baseline-oriented competitors.
The three ML10 models share a round shape and fibreglass face construction. The ML10 Pro Cup Coorp 2027 by Miguel Lamperti is closest to the traditional ML10 feel with an HR3-style core and smooth surface for all-round control. The ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface 2027 adds a textured finish for extra spin. The ML10 Pro Cup Light 2027 offers a lighter weight for faster handling and reduced fatigue.
The Pro Cup Soft 2027 and Pro Cup Hard 2027 by Agustín Tapia share the same teardrop shape but differ in core: Pro Cup Soft uses a soft EVA core for more comfort and easier ball output, while Pro Cup Hard delivers a crisper, more controlled response. The main difference is feel - comfort-focused versus precision-focused.
NOX Advanced Series 2027

The Advanced Series offers accessible, high-quality NOX rackets for developing and intermediate players who still want genuine performance. The two models are:
-
NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027
-
NOX Equation Hard Advanced 2027
Both NOX Equation models share a round shape with medium balance, 3K fibreglass faces, a carbon fibre frame, 3D textured surface to generate spin, anti-vibration system and Smartstrap safety cord. The Dynamic Composite Structure enhances durability and performance across both. The NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027 weighs between 355 and 365 g, and the Equation Hard falls in the same manageable weight window, offering better control for developing consistency.
The main difference between Equation Soft and Equation Hard is the core. The HR3 Soft EVA core provides a softer feel on impact, delivering easier ball output and a comfortable feel for the player's hand. The Equation Hard uses an HR3 Hard EVA core for a firmer response and extra precision. The NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027 is ideal for players seeking comfortable control, while the Equation Hard suits those who prefer clearer feedback.

For attacking power and overhead dominance, the diamond-shaped Genius Attack and Ventus Attack models stand out.

The 18K models offer a more solid, precise response for experienced players, while the 12K models provide versatile performance with slightly more comfort. Choose Genius Attack for head-heavy power; choose standard Genius for balanced, creative play.

The Ventus 3K by Miguel Lamperti and Ventus 12K by Aranzazu Osoro both prioritise control, though the 3K face delivers a slightly more direct point of contact. The Ventus Attack contrasts sharply with the Ventus Hybrid - one is built for smashes, the other for consistency across the entire court. The Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite is the lightweight option for players who want easier handling without leaving the Ventus family.
Classic Series Focus: Pro Cup Soft vs Pro Cup Hard 2027

The Pro Cup Soft 2027 suits players who prioritise comfort and a forgiving response - particularly useful if you play regularly and want to protect your arm. The Pro Cup Hard 2027 aligns with players who like a crisp, direct feel and higher control. If you want a softer feel with pleasant impact, choose Soft. If you prefer a firmer response with clearer feedback at the point of contact, choose Hard.
Advanced Series Focus: NOX Equation Soft vs Equation Hard 2027
The Equation Soft and Equation Hard are the two Advanced Series options designed for control and development. For many players, the choice comes down to these two.

Both share the same mould, medium balance, technologies (3D texture surface, carbon frame, anti-vibration system, Smartstrap) and weight range of 355–365 g. The racket weighs in a manageable mid-weight window that gives better control without sacrificing speed. The choice is purely about core hardness: softer is more forgiving and easier on the arm; harder is more precise and direct. For a developing player building consistency, the Equation Soft is the natural starting point. For someone ready for a firmer response and clearer impact feedback, the Equation Hard delivers.
How to Choose the Right NOX 2027 Padel Racket for Your Playing Style
Here is a practical summary to match your game to the right NOX 2027 padel racket.
Control-first players should look at round shapes like the Equation Soft or Equation Hard, ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface 2027, ML10 Pro Cup Coorp 2027 by Miguel Lamperti, or Ventus 12K 2027 by Aranzazu Osoro. Round shape and medium balance help you keep the ball in play and build consistency on court.
All-round, versatile players benefit from teardrop or hybrid rackets - Pro Cup Soft or Hard 2027, NOX Genius 12K Xtreme 2027 by Agustín Tapia, or Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtreme 2027 by Edu Alonso. These balance power and control effectively.
Attacking players should consider the Genius Attack 18K 2027 by Agustín Tapia, Genius Attack 12K Xtreme 2027 by Agustín Tapia, or Ventus Attack 12K Xtreme 2027 by Aimar Goñi. Diamond shapes and higher head balance maximise speed and power on smashes.
On weight: a lighter racket like the Genius 12K Xtrem Lite 2027 or Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027 makes sense if you have arm issues, prefer quick reactions, or play primarily at the net. Standard-weight Luxury models suit players who generate their own power and want stability.
On feel: "soft", "medium" and "hard" sensations relate directly to EVA core hardness and face material. As a concrete example, the Equation Soft vs Equation Hard and Pro Cup Soft vs Pro Cup Hard pairs illustrate this perfectly - same shape, same innovation, completely different impact sensation. Be honest about your level. If you are unsure, prioritise control and consistency over raw power.
FAQs: NOX 2027 Padel Rackets for UK Players
Below are answers to the most common UK search questions about the NOX 2027 collection.
Which NOX padel racket should I choose in 2027?
It depends on your playing style. Control players should consider round models like the Equation Soft or ML10 Pro Cup Coorp 2027. All-round players suit the Pro Cup Soft or Hard. Attackers should look at the Genius Attack or Ventus Attack models.
What is the difference between NOX Genius and Ventus?
Genius is oriented toward creative, attacking play with teardrop and diamond shapes. Ventus focuses more on precision, stability and control, with round and hybrid options alongside its own attack model.
What is the difference between NOX Pro Cup Soft 2027 and Pro Cup Hard 2027?
The main difference is the core. Pro Cup Soft uses HR3 Soft EVA for a comfortable, forgiving response. Pro Cup Hard uses HR3 Hard EVA for a firmer, more precise feel.

What is the difference between 3K, 12K and 18K carbon?

Is the NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027 a good choice for developing players?
Yes. Its round shape, soft EVA core, 3K fibreglass face and anti-vibration technology make it forgiving and comfortable - a strong starting point for players building their game.
Do I need to upgrade from my 2026 NOX racket to a 2027 model?
The 2027 range introduces meaningful innovation including the VCS system (up to 60% vibration reduction), improved EOS Tunnel aerodynamics and the Weight Balance customisation system. If arm comfort, spin or fine-tuning balance matters to you, the upgrade offers tangible benefits.
