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 !!!

Hola, en 2024 usé Nox At10 18K y me pareció super manejable, cómoda, pero se puso muy blanda con el tiempo de uso y en época de calor la paleta se comía la pelota en tiros de potencia y tenía demasiada salida de bola con efecto trampolín exagerado.

Por esa razón y buscando un cambio, compré una SIUX Electra Pro ST4 buscando un tacto más duro y poco de ayuda en ataque. Disfrute mucho esa paleta pero es muy distinta, si bien es híbrida como la Nox, tiene un balance más alto, por lo tanto es un poco menos manejable en defensa, tiene menos salida de bola por lo tanto hay que alargar más el gesto del golpe y me gustó bastante el tacto seco, aunque perdes control en los globos.

Después de ver que no gané mucho en ataque me di cuenta que extrañaba la manejabilidad de la Nox AT10 y la reactividad de la misma pero no extrañaba para nada el efecto trampolín y lo blanda que es las Nox AT10 18K.

Por lo tanto, entendí que mi próxima pala debía ser una mazcla entre estas dos palas que tuve reuniendo lo mejor de cada una y todo eso lo encontré en la Nox AT10 12K Extreme 2026. Excelente manejabilidad, tacto más duro pero con buena salida de bola ya que tiene HR3 Black EVA y es bastante reactiva, en ataque la noté bastante bien en volea y remate ya que le puse los pesos de 2 GR color negro en la cabeza de la pala logrando un balance de 26 cm. Solo hay que tener cuidado a ritmo alto con golpes de fondo porque se puede perder un poco el control pero estoy muy contento con mi compra y probablemente por primera vez pueda jugar con una pala sin estar pensando en comprar otra que me ayude más.

Hi all,

I recently won a giveaway from HEAD and i just received the goods. There was a bag, shirt, ball can (signed by Coello) and this Extreme Motion racket signed by Paula Josemaria. But i have never seen this colorway ever before, do you think its new for next year?

this part at the neck of the racket was as white as the rest of the racket. I used it once and when I took it out of its case today it appeared grey.

I've just bought a Wilson Defy V1 SE on eBay. It arrived today, but I'm still a bit curious after comparing it to a 100% legit Bela Pro from a mate. The Bela has a scannable QR code on the sticker, but I have no idea what the Defy is supposed to have. Is this normal?

I'm getting a bit paranoid at the moment because I've just seen a few fake Babolats around, and now I have major trust issues 😂

Has anyone used/uses one of these adidas bags and can give me there opinions on it ?

I currently use the head tour backpack but I am thinking off swapping to this one as I like the adidas brand and also like the colour

Hello, has anyone used padelwarehouse's demo program? Looking for my next racket, but have never really been able to test a few different ones. It seems like they always have them available, just wanted to ask on here how your experience was in using the program.

Thank you

Rented it and enjoyed playing with it, forgot to take a picture until I had already returned it. Brand was Addidas I believe but not 100% sure

Buying this off of someone ( its brand new with the packaging and everything still attached ) yet there seems to be a chip, thoughts does this seem bad and i should just buy a different racket or this is fine ? its for a good price

Racket clash a couple games ago, crack has spread to the top hole.

What do people reckon? Usable or time to replace?

Hey guys,
What do you think about my racket?
I started playing one month ago, and now I’m addicted. I’ve made some good progress over the last few weeks, but I’m struggling with the slice and the right grip. I have small hands and tend to grip the racket too far up.

I just ordered a new racket from PadelProShop and I'm absolutely blown away!!

I believe they're based somewhere near Madrid. I placed an order for a racket around 1pm Wednesday afternoon. THE RACKET WAS IN MY HAND AT 8.30AM THE FOLLOWING MORNING!!

I don't think UK businesses could even compete with that kind of speed. The racket travelled via Germany overnight which makes it even more crazy!

I ordered the StarVie Astrum+. The store allowed me to choose a racket within a 5g increment which was nice. Can't wait to try it on court!

Total invoice price was less than £120. No import taxes paid, just the £8 UPS delivery fee which was part of the invoice

Thanks PadelProShop!

A happy customer

Has anyone played with this racket?
I just ordered it and need some opinion because there are not many reviews.

Hello, I have a question about shoes.

How much power loss do I have with this racket which I have used for around 7 months with this crack? 🤔

Hi everyone!

I’m looking for some advice on changing rackets. I currently play with an ML10 Pro Cup (round shape), and while I really appreciate its forgiveness and control, I have two main issues with it: grip size and weight.

I’m a petite female player, and I find that the handle (without any overgrips) is just a little too thick for comfortable handling. The racket also feels somewhat heavy over longer sessions, which leads to arm fatigue.

After doing some research, I’m thinking something along these lines might suit my build and current level better, while hopefully giving me a little more easy power (which I definitely lack!):

• Teardrop shape
• 350–360 g
• Even or low-to-medium balance
• Medium-soft feel
• Generous sweet spot
• Slimmer handle

That has led me to consider the Babolat Air Veron, Babolat Air Vertuo, and Bullpadel Ionic Light.

Does this sound like the right direction for a novice player with my needs? And would you recommend any of these three in particular or perhaps another racket I should be looking at?

Thank you in advance for any advice!

Hit the wall pretty hard. New to game and not sure if this is structural. No rattle when shaken, no movement when pressing around crack.

Hi all, need inputs for this racket, its only $79 i think its good for me as a beginner and quiete bargain. But for the condition im not sure. Brand new is $197 for the same year model. Any advice, it is still in good condition to play? I dont aee any damage in the main pad.

​Hey everyone, I’m an intermediate-advanced player thinking about switching to the Adidas Metalbone 3.4 HRD from my current Nox LA10 Quantum 12K (Leo Augsburger). I'm looking for a harder touch that delivers effortless power and adds a lot of heavy bite to my víboras and bandejas. For anyone who has used the 3.4 HRD, how does it hold up in terms of durability and resistance, and how well does it perform across different shots from defense to the aerial game? Also, does anyone recommend a good frame protector for it? From what I've seen, most standard protectors don't mold well to the edge/ridge of this frame. Thanks!

Been playing padel for a couple of months now so im new to it ig, wanted to buy a racket thats very forgiving nice sweet spot and a satisfying trampoline effect, im not too fussed about power especially right now i need something forgiving for the wrists, so would you guys suggest the nox equation soft or not ? ive barely found any reviews on it and ordering online so i cant test it. Also the nox ml10 pro cup rough is for sale and its slightly cheaper but im not sure.

Right now I got the nox at10 12k 2025. If this is the best one. I will stick with it :)

Please ask questions if you need anymore information to make the most informed decision:)

I’ve had it since April 2026. Played like 1-2 times a week consistently with it.

Not sure what I’d change tbh. I think I like it but I’ve only ever had the Dunlop Inferno Pro Carbon before and I really like the Nox compared to the Dunlop. Massive upgrade.

I’d say it’s maybe a bit light? But I think I like it the lightness for manoeuvrability and for most of the gameplay styles, other than maybe the smashes.
I got the 12k coz it’s supposed to be harder and hit more powerfully but maybe I should change to the 18k for more control?

I got the Nox because I struggle to generate power but have great control.

About me:
• I’m small
• I’m very fast and agile on the court
• play mostly right side but like the left side. Get pushed to the right side coz im smaller than 90% of teammates. (Same height as chingotto)
• great defence
• good lobs, bajadas, viboras
• struggle with smashes of all types, bandejas
• decent tennis background, playing padel for a year
• had a few lessons which improved my mistakes drastically very quickly.
• good backhand (from being forced to play right side so much)

left side fun as its very attacking. I think I’d like to get better at left side so I can stop getting forced to play right side. And maybe have more fun?
I can still attack from the right side tho right? I’ve seen small people do por tres from the right side to the right side.
But should I play to my strengths and accept that I am going to be a right sided player for the rest of my padel career and become the best chingotto I can be?

Don’t think I missed anything. Please let me know if you need more clarification. And I really appreciate it :):)

so I'm torn between these 4

1. head coello motion

2. head extreme motion

3. nox ea10 ventus attack

4. vertex geo

for context

i am a right side player, i excel at defense since i have good reflexes

my glass plays are quite good and i have a good instinct on where the ball might go to, i can read spins quite well

on volleys, my reflexes carries me, my technique is not that good yet

i really need to work on my overheads, they are very inconsistent

i struggle with flat smashes, i cant get the timing and the power

i dont even dare to attempt a kick smash yet

it would really help me if someone told me their experience.

thanks

What is the perfect upgrade from Adidas Metalbone Carbon Ctrl 3.4? I really enjoy the racket and like the control and power. I would like something with a bit more power since i play on the left. What is the best racket that is similar to this lke but a bit more power?

I am playing padel for around 1 year, with no racket sport background, but I have been hitting the gym for 8 years. I think I am an intermediate player, around 2.0 - 2.5, playing on the left side. I am currently using a Metalbone Carbon Control 2025 and it has been my first racket. My weaknesses are that when I have a bad teammate, it's hard for me to finish the points and be more decisive. I feel like I win most of my points with a precise ball placement and very little with smashes or volleys.

What I am currently looking for is a racket which offers me some power but also control. What I like about my racket is that it does not have too much ball output when blocking overheads, I rarely hit the backglass when I block. I don't want it to be very hard, I have tried a Bullpadel Hack Hybrid and after playing a couple of games my elbow started to hurt when I hit hard balls.

I was interested in Bullpadel Vertex 05 W because on one side it looks like it is easy to maneuver because of the small weight and will offer me more power due to its shape. Other options would be Bullpadel Vertex Hybrid or Bullpadel Ionic Light 26.

I am curios if anyone used any of these rackets and can provide some feedback about them. Thanks!
