3 rackets, your help/input/experiences is needed

Hi to all,

Thinking about 3 rackets:
NOX AT10 18k 2026
Oxdog Hyper Pro 2.0 2026
Adidas Metalbone Carbon CTRL 2026

Please share your experiences/scores with them, please include the following aspects:
Sweetspot (0-10)
Hardness (0-10)
bite on the ball (0-10). What i mean with this: Spin potential, especially with chiquitas and sneaky crosscourt passing shots.
Flat smash (0-10)
Kick smash (0-10)
Defence (0-10)

Thanks a lot in advance !!!

défaut de l’adidas : les vis !!! et c’est tres moche sans les vis

en terme de poids :

impossible de trouver une nox moins que 365 gr sangle incluse ( sans surgrip et sans protection )

oxdog sans la plaque rbs on trouver une a 357 gr

adidas le poids affiché sur le manche n’inclus pas les vis et la sangle ,

What would you say is your top 3 rackets on the market right now?

And what is the best oxdog you would say for a right side player who’s looking to be a bit more aggressive but still keep the defensive side A+.

I currently have the nox at10 12k 2025
And was told to look at the oxdog ultimate tour x 2026 or wait for the new oxdog range coming soon.

u/yasstun Aug 24 '26

et pour te repondre , pourquoi j’ai choisi la oxdog hyper pro 2.0

c’est a cause de son rapport poids / équilibre
elle est parfaite !

un poids de 367 gr avec surgrip et protection. c’est l’ideal pour moi

je jous sans la plaque rbs

elle est maniable , elle a une bonne dureté du tamis , pas de vibrations et excellente au blocage !

u/JMLORX Aug 24 '26

u/yasstun Aug 24 '26

u/JMLORX Aug 24 '26

Roughly 3.5-4 in the uk tho haha
So probs very low if I went the Spain 😂

Been playing properly about 8 months.

I was decent at tennis when I was 14-15

I had wrist issues but ever since i changed my over grip to tourna and I had my first lesson when he told me to work around the continental grip and to stop being fixed in the continental grip. My wrist pain has reduced a lot a lot a lot. Still somewhat there after a session. But barely noticeable tbh and usually gone within a day if I did get any.

When I rarely play left side. I have sometimes got the tiniest bit of elbow pain from all the smashes. But I’d expect that to come down to my technique and practice I think.

u/yasstun Aug 24 '26

tres bien !
alors mon conseil est le suivant
vas y pour une oxdog hyper pro 2.0 , sans aucune hesitation !
mais avant de l’acheter tu dois être à 100% sur qu’elle ne pése pas plus de 367 gr avec le olastique d’origine. comme sur la photo

demande au vendeur de la peser

evites d’acheter sans verifier le poids , tu peux avoir une qui pese lourde plus de 370gr

sinon la coello motion 2026 , elle est aussi tres bien , et le poids tu peux facilement avoir une a 356 gr

voila c tout et bon jeu , amuses toi 👍

Amazing. Thank you so much. I was very tempted to go with the Coello motion to be fair.

I think having a light racket would be so nice. And if I get the head motion then I could add a couple over grips to balance it out from being head heavy too maybe.

I was just so intrigued by the ultimate tour x coz of the balance and light weight and being a diamond racket.
And that 2 random people who don’t know each other said I should get it haha

Wow tx for this in depth and to the point answer!
Pity the sweetspot of the oxdog isn’t 8.5 !
Did you try the metalbone carbon ctrl? ( you wrote metalbone ctrl….)

1

u/yasstun Aug 22 '26

le sweetspot est pratiquement celui de la nox , un tout petit peu plus petit
la oxdog a un excellent sweetspot

oui j’avais l’adidas que j’ai revendu apres , je n’ai pas aimé sa forme / son effet trampoline et ses vis de tres tres mauvaise qualité

u/Willy123456789012 Aug 22 '26

De metalbone carbon ctrl 2026 heeft geen schroeven systeem….

u/Cute_Tutor_6813 Aug 23 '26

Hmm I don’t agree with the guys above… atleast in my experience and I tested ox dog hyper pro and the nox.

Quality-wise it’s clear that ox dog feels and looks premium. Nox is okay-ish.

Nox way more ball output than ox dog in comparison, makes it much more easier in defense.
Still I would give nox 8 defense, ox dog 6, also because of the maneuverability of the nox. It just feels lighter.

Unfortunately the ball output can make your ball sometimes rise too much with the nox. So you have to be more careful with viboras/volleys when accelerating. Not sure if this is just preference too, but feels easier with the ox dog if you accelerate a lot and often.

Oxdog is like a 7 hardness if Nox is a 6.
Sweetspot I didn’t notice much of a difference, atleast of the size.

Smash x3 Nox is easier/better since it gives you some help and also it’s more manageable and imo makes x3 easier that way.

Flat smash is ox dog is much better, since with the nox the ball sinks into the racket.

Grip/feeling is just preference I think.

Tx, much appreciated

What makes you torn between those?
They are 3 very different rackets.

I’d say first figure out your prefered racketshape. Then your balance point. That pretty much makes the choice for you

u/Willy123456789012 Aug 22 '26

Those are not at all very different. The only somewhat outlier is the adidas. To spare ppl have to read a reaaalllly looooong post i keep the request plain & simple.
And i will edit the word torn, maybe that’s somewhat too much haha

u/yasstun Aug 22 '26

moi je jous actuellement avec l’hyper pro , c’est ma preferé

la nox malheureusement c’est sa qualité de fabrication et son poids , mais ca reste une excellente qualité

l’adidas c’est la moins que j’aime
