NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027: lighter handling with a versatile response

The NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027 is the most agile option within the Ventus range, combining a reduced 350–360 g weight with a versatile teardrop-shaped design.

Its medium balance complements the lighter construction, creating a racket intended to move easily without giving up the performance characteristics of the Ventus family.

The faces use 12K carbon for a stiffer response, while the multi-density MLD Black EVA core changes its behaviour according to the pace of the shot. It supports ball output at lower speeds and provides greater power when the player accelerates through the ball.

The racket also incorporates VCS, Weight Balance and Dual Spin, giving players options to manage vibrations, customise balance and work with spin.

The result is a medium-hard, versatile racket for players who want easier handling without moving to a particularly soft construction.

Technologies and materials

12K carbon

The faces of the Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite are made from 12K carbon, giving the hitting surface a rigid response.

This is an important part of the Lite configuration: although the overall weight is reduced, the racket retains a carbon hitting surface rather than relying on a softer face material.

MLD Black EVA

The MLD Black EVA core uses different densities to adapt its response according to the speed of the shot.

At lower speeds, it is designed to improve ball output, helping the player move the ball without requiring maximum acceleration.

When the pace increases, the core provides greater power with less effort on attacking shots. This variable response supports the Hybrid Lite's versatile character.

Vibration Control System (VCS)

The VCS anti-vibration system is designed to reduce the vibration transmitted towards the arm.

For this model, NOX states that it absorbs 60% of the vibration reaching the arm compared with its predecessor, with the improvement intended to increase comfort and reduce the load reaching areas such as the elbow and shoulder.

Weight Balance

Weight Balance gives the player the option to alter the racket's original configuration.

Counterweights of 2 g and 4 g can be added, up to a maximum of 8 g, allowing the player to customise balance and control.

This is particularly interesting on a Lite model because the racket starts from a lower 350–360 g weight range, while still providing scope for personalisation.

Dual Spin

The Dual Spin finish combines 3D texture and silica sand on the hitting surface.

This construction is designed to improve control over the ball and provide additional support when generating spin.

Why choose the Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite?

The main advantage of the Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027 is that its lower weight does not automatically mean a soft or basic construction.

At 350–360 g, it is designed to be more agile and easier to manoeuvre than heavier configurations in the Ventus family. However, its 12K carbon faces and medium-hard feel retain a firmer response.

The teardrop shape and medium balance keep the configuration versatile, while MLD Black EVA provides different responses as the pace of the shot changes.

Players can then use Weight Balance to make further adjustments to the racket's behaviour.

This combination makes the Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite particularly relevant for players looking for lower weight and quicker handling while still preferring the response of a 12K carbon face.

FAQs about the NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027

How much does the NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite 2027 weigh?

The racket weighs between 350 and 360 g, making it the lightest and most agile configuration within the Ventus range described in NOX's 2027 technical collection.

Is the Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite a soft padel racket?

No. Despite its lower weight, NOX specifies a medium-hard feel. It combines 12K carbon faces with an MLD Black EVA core, so the Lite designation refers primarily to its reduced weight rather than to a particularly soft response.

Can I adjust the balance of the NOX Ventus 12K Hybrid Lite?

Yes. Weight Balance allows 2 g and 4 g counterweights to be added up to a maximum of 8 g, giving the player scope to customise the racket's balance and control.
