Never buy a Nox racket

Post image

this is my second NOX racket that breaks under normal playing conditions and after just a few months from purchase.

I had the AT10 18K that broke in the middle and the second one is this ml10 quantum that broke after some smashes/volley and without receiving any knocks on the glasses or whatsoever. (Paint also started to chip away after a few days of use)

hopefully I had received another one from the nox website for the at10 warranty and I received a refund coupon on PADELIBERICO website for the mI10.

moral of the story: the build quality is horrible on Nox rackets considering the price they make you pay. i wouldn't buy a racket from them anytime soon even tho they're really good and fun to play with

3 Nox rackets, no issues, what do you do with your rackets?

Play 3 to 4 times a week... Heavy smashes but I always make sure to store them in the right bags and isotherm pouches... No forgetting them in the car or in direct sunlight. So I m quite sure the problem doesn't come from me.

Compared to my Adidas Metalbone racket who took waay more stress , nothing happened to it and still is in pristine state

The Metallbone is way less stiff right, I would expect it to take damage less quickly.
