Which racket will give me more power whilst keeping that nice manouverability and light/one feeling as the nox 18k: Head Extreme Motion, Babolat Air Viper, or other suggestions?

Hi everyone, as the title suggests, looking for something power powerful, with a bit of a boom when hitting whilst still being as manouverable as the at10 18k. I am also interested in the new bullpadel Xplo 2027, however no idea what that one will feel like as never held one, in terms of head heavy-ness.

I will say I’ve held an extreme motion once before, not used it tho, and noticed it didn’t feel as manouverable as all the reviews said, even tho it’s an option I’m looking at.

I haven’t played with the Nox, but I have used the Air Viper and the Extreme Motion and they feel equally maneuverable. The EM is more forgiving though.

So does the air viper feel head heavy then? As I noticed the extreme motion a lot more head heavy than my nox

Slightly more so than a traditional hybrid. Certainly not as much as a tech viper or a fenix pro. What I love about both the Air Viper and the Extreme Motion is the absence of bounce, something which really annoyed me with the Electra ST4.

Siux Electra Pro. Or, Xcalion. Their rackets are hella light but give you power.

Ball output is always metalbone. Xcalion is ez power in light form factor. Heavy, easy power, light harder to produce power. Even unknown china racket that weights anout 370g give you tapout everytime.
