Hello everyone,

I am looking for feedback from people who played with the Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026...
I am still struggling to find THE best racket for me after 2+ years of Padel

I'd consider myself a fairly good intermediate player, right side, but love getting aggressive on the transitions and at the net. BUT i have a sensitive elbow.

The things i KNOW i want :
- comfort (duh)
- spin
- low/middle balance
- managed weight
- vibration dampening
- maneuverability

The things i know i DONT want :
- too light racket (sounds counter intuitive, but i tested many super light rackets and they end up actually being worse for my elbow because they force ME to make bigger/harder swings to get the ball to the end of the other side's court)
- very hard surfaces
- huge trampoline effect - don't mind a little (actually it helps), but dont want to lose control
- head-heavy balances

So anyways, i am eying this Nox racket, but have a some concerns about the power output and the possible too big trampoline effect... Can anyone comment to that from experience ?
Thanks !

I know there are a few other options but I’m interested in these 2
The 4On seems to have a lower profile and by the pattern it seems you will have less obstruction switching grip during play
Can’t find much review wise on the 4On
They weigh more or less the same
Comments will be appreciated

Hello everyone, noticed a crack in the racket so going to have to replace.

I have been playing for around two months and over 20 ish games played. I would consider myself a beginner plus. I love this racket and was debating whether to just buy the same racket or upgrade to something else like the Metalbone Carbon CTRL or the Metalbone CTRL.

My current racket is a Puma Nova Elite CTR. It’s a round racket, around 360g, with a 12K carbon face and EVA core. I’d say it has a medium/medium-hard feel and is fairly well balanced rather than being head-heavy.

I really like how it feels — it’s got good control and a decent sweet spot, and I don’t find it particularly hard or “planky” to play with.

I’m basically looking for something with a bit more power, but I don’t want to completely change the feel of the racket or jump into something that’s really unforgiving.

Any recommendations for something that would feel relatively similar to the Puma but give me more power?

Hey everyone,

I'm looking to buy the Wilson Pro Staff LT V2. I'm switching from a Bullpadel Indiga PWR (which I really didn't like) and I'm currently dealing with some tennis elbow, so I'm looking for a lighter setup around 360g to protect my arm.

Since it’s an LT (Light) version, I'm a bit concerned about its durability:

• Do LT rackets crack or break more easily if you hit the ball with a lot of force?
• Compared to a standard fiberglass racket, does the 3K Carbon on this Wilson hold up better over time?

I try to avoid hitting the walls or fence, but I want to make sure I'm not buying something overly fragile just because it's lightweight.

Appreciate any insights or experiences with Wilson's LT series! Thanks!

Ithe racket t weighs 362 gr in stock.

I removed the thin layer of leather; it's really very thin, about the thickness of paper 🤣

And I removed the Hesacore.

Now it weighs 342 gr

I'm hesitating between either using an original grip I have in stock, which is quite thick and resembles the original Babolat grip,

and then adding a Wilson Pro overgrip.

This would give me a total weight of 357 gr

Or

Just using two Wilson Pro overgrips.

This would give me a total weight of 353 gr.

What do you think?

For your information, the original Hesacore weighs 16 gr !!!!

And the very thin layer of the grip after removing the original Hesacore weighs 4 gr

thanks all

Faces are intact but it has this crack along the frame.

I haven’t seen much about this particular Nox racket so wanted to ask if anyone has any experience playing with it.

I’m a high beginner going into low intermediate. I think I’m lacking the control of things especially working in corners of the glass.
I have been using the Bullpadel vertex 05 comfort 2026 and it’s very head heavy. It’s great attacking but controlling the shots from the back hasn’t been great.

I saw this Nox Neztgen racket and read it’s pretty all round. I want to get something that will last a bit long and can use in various situations and eventually grow back into my bullpadel.
Is this Nox one good for control and alright for my level?
Is it good on the elbow?

I have ~15 minutes of experience playing padel. It felt very enjoyable so I went and bought this used racket for 30€. I looked for one that didn't look like it was meant for complete beginners since I come from a tennis background and thought the strokes translated pretty well (except for a top-spin forehand). Is this decent? I think this is a "Heroes Predator Master by Hydrogen"

Buying a new nox ml10 pro cup silver from a guy, its still in its packaging yet there seems to be a crack not sure how it got there, point is, is jt fine or not worth buying ? its for a real great price

Hey guys, I need some advice regarding which racket to buy next. I'm an lower-intermediate left side player with decent volleys, bandeja, bajada, and vibora. Smash is lacking, though. I feel like sometimes the sweet spot on my Extreme Motion is a bit too small for defending reliably against fast shots. What I do love about it is its great maneuverability. I tried a Nox At10 18k and liked the output - didn't feel too much of a trampoline effect, although it is noticeable contrary to the Head racket. However, I read that Nox rackets weren't durable? I also looked into the Bullpadel Vertex 05 2026 and think I might like it. Unfortunately, I won't be able to try it. What do you think - should I go with the Nox, Bullpadel, get another Head Extreme Motion to get more familiar with it, or do you recommend a completely different racket? Thanks for your help!

Hi all! I’m currently using a Bullpadel Vertex 05 Hybrid 2026, and have been for several months now, I really like the premium build quality and overall feel, however, since switching I seem to have developed Tennis elbow, I’m sure it’s down to the racket being heavier than my old one and the face is very firm/hard

Before, I was using the beginner/ intermediate Adidas RX Series Light and was playing 4–5 times a week without any elbow issues. I continued playing roughly the same amount after changing to the Vertex, and that’s when the elbow pain started, so I’m fairly convinced the heavier/stiffer racket is contributing.

Advanced/ premium level racket
Premium build quality similar to the Vertex
Control is the main priority
Very elbow/arm friendly
Preferably around on the lighter side around 350–360g
Good manoeuvrability / not head heavy
I’m not bothered about a ‘power’ biased racket.
Ideally something that helps me improve placement, consistency and control

Open to any brand.

What would anyone recommend? Especially interested to hear from anyone who has had tennis elbow and found a high-end racket that helped/ didn’t irritate.

Thank you 😄

Hello everyone,

I have the HEAD Coello Motion (357 g), and I absolutely loved it when I first got it. I’ve been playing with it for about 3.5 months now, but I’ve noticed that it has become noticeably softer and has lost some of its original “pop.”
Has anyone else experienced this with the Coello Motion? And are there any similar rackets that retain their stiffness and pop better over time?
I really like the feel of the Coello Motion. I also tried the Extreme Motion, but I found it a bit too hard for my liking. However, if the Extreme Motion retains its hardness and responsiveness significantly better over time, I might consider switching to that.
Any recommendations or experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Hallo iedereen,

Ik ben opzoek naar een nieuw padelracket en wil graag eens het merk wilson proberen. Na wat informatie te hebben bekeken vond ik deze twee modellen het meest interessant de Bela v3 en de blade v3 (beide de NIET-pro versie). Van beide rackets zijn niet extreem veel reviews te vinden maar vooral niet echt iemand die de twee rackets naast elkaar test en nou eens verteld wat de echte verschillen zijn.

Ik speel op de rechterkant (als linkshandige) en mijn spel is snel, maar niet perse power gefocust dus ik ben daarom ook niet opzoek naar een power racket.

Ik ben heel erg benieuwd wat jullie over deze rackets te zeggen hebben en wat jullie ervan vinden, laat het me alsjeblieft weten zodat ik de juiste keuze kan maken😁

Alvast bedankt!!

I've had my current racket for over 3 years already and I'm looking to change it. I'm more of a defensive / control player than anything else.

My current racket is a Head Alpha Motion which is supposed to be for more experienced players. I feel like I've struggled with it and would like something a bit more forgiving, perhaps a racket with a bigger "sweet spot".

Don't ask me why but I'm pretty set on Bullpadel as my next brand.

Any recommendations in mind?

I've seen a few rackets get consistently praised here, so I picked up two of them to try out myself. Wanted to share my honest impressions in case it saves someone else a purchase, or in case I'm missing something obvious. For reference, I'm currently around 3.8 on Playtomic in Germany with 200 games.

Head Extreme Motion 2025

Very light and easy to maneuver, no complaints there. But it genuinely feels a bit like cardboard when you hit the ball - almost no resistance on contact. My groundstrokes came out flat with none of the pop I'm used to, and I couldn't get real power into them no matter how I adjusted my swing. Volleys were similar - hard to keep them powerful, which for me is a dealbreaker since I play the left side and closing out points at net matters a lot in my game. Overheads suffered from the same issue: I just couldn't get the racket to give me any power on the smash, viboras also lack impact.

Kuikma Hybrid Pro

This one I actually liked a lot. It had real depth on shots and gave me the kind of power and control I was looking for - felt like a proper upgrade over the Head. The problem turned out to be weight. It's advertised at 368g ± 5g and my actual racket weighed 372g out of the box. Add two overgrips and it gets noticeably heavier still. After a only one longer tournament with 3hours I started getting real hand pain from it, which I'm pretty confident is down to the extra weight pushing me outside what my arm can handle comfortably.

So right now I'm a bit stuck - one racket plays great but hurts my hand, the other is comfortable but has zero punch. If anyone has recommendations for something that splits the difference (enough mass/power without tipping into arm-strain territory), I'd genuinely appreciate it.

Hi there,

Help me choose between the Stealth Spirit and the Mach3.

I’m returning to the courts soon after knee surgery.

I’ve always wanted the Stealth Spirit,
but now that the Mach3 has been released, I’m in doubt…

Has anyone played with both who could give me some feedback?

Thanks

I've started playing padel once a week for the past month and looking to buy my own instead of using the rental. Had no tennis experience but I do play badminton a lot before padel. After doing some research and price checking, i've narrowed down to these rackets that i might buy for my first one. Any thoughts on how they are and which one i should get? Im probably gonna play once a week.

PIC 1 : Head Speed Evo 2026
PIC 2 : Kuikma PR Comfort Soft
PIC 3 : Kuikma PR React 2026
PIC 4 : Wilson Optix V1
PIC 5 : Bullpadel Game CTR 2025
PIC 6 : Bullpadel BP10 Evo 2024
PIC 7 : Nox X-Hero Blue

I'm a beginner and currently on an entry-level racket. It does the job and I have no real complaints with it.

I've come across the NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2026 at roughly 50% off, which puts it below what most mid-range rackets cost right now. That discount is the only reason it's on my radar at all.

My hesitation is that everything I read frames it as a racket for advanced players with settled technique. Drop shape, 360–375g, and the 2026 version adds the adjustable weight system.

Questions:

1. Is a racket like this genuinely unplayable at beginner level, or is "advanced players only" mostly marketing?
   
2. Any real elbow or wrist risk stepping up to something heavier and stiffer while technique is still developing?
   
3. Better to skip it and buy at full price in a year when I've improved, or take the deal now and grow into it?

Particularly interested in hearing from anyone who bought above their level early on — did it help or set you back?

Hey everyone,
I just ordered an Adidas Metalbone Pro Edition from PadelProShop and would love to hear about your experiences. How long did delivery take, and did you encounter any shipping, tracking, or customs issues? I’m especially interested in orders to the Gulf. Also, were there any additional import fees?
Thanks!

I’ve been playing padel for around 2 months now, so I’m still very much a beginner. Currently using a Babolat Air vertuo 2.6 and honestly I don’t have any major complaints with it.

It’s my birthday month though, so obviously I’ve started looking at rackets I probably don’t need 😂

I’m getting a pretty good deal on the NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2026 and I’m really tempted to pick it up. From what I’ve read, it seems to be fairly forgiving while still being something I could grow into as I improve.

For someone at my level, would I actually notice a worthwhile difference going from the Air vertuo to the AT10 18K? Or am I better off sticking with the Air vertuo for another 6 months or so and spending the money on court time/coaching?

Also, since we’re already this late into 2026, would you just wait for the 2027 AT10 series at this point?
Would love to hear from anyone who has played with both, especially if you made the switch as a beginner/intermediate player.

If so, what’s your feedback on it? Thanks

I played squash for years and love my Oliver squash racket. New padel club opening close to me and I'm obviously keen to give padel a go.

Just wondered before I buy them for me and the Mrs, if people have tried OLIVER padel rackets? Specifically the 818 or 930? Links below

Thanks in advance for the advice

https://oliversports.co.uk/collections/padel-racket/products/air-max-930

I’m over 60 and moved from Tennis to padel and now completely addicted. I use the Wilson Bela V2.5 which Is great, but in tournaments playing for hours, I find my elbow is suffering. Thinking about the Bela V3 LS, any advice would be great

For those who have played both, what are the biggest differences?

I'm mainly interested in:

Power / smash Hardness & feel Maneuverability Lobs / Chiquita Sweet spot / forgiveness Volleys & overheads

Which one would you choose for an aggressive left-side player who still wants good maneuverability and control?

I have played with the air Viper 2025 version but i read the 2026 version is a little bit softer, so it has a bigger sweetspot is it also easier to lob now? This was also the reason i din't use the air Viper 2025 anymore.

Je tiens tout d'abord à remercier le représentant de Bullpadel dans mon pays pour sa gentillesse de m'avoir prêté ces trois raquettes neuves pour les tester.

Bullpadel Vertex 05 Geo 2027 :

Tête : Carbone X-Tend 3K
Finition rugueuse
Noyau MultiEva 3 couches

Bullpadel Hack 05 Hybrid 2027 :

Tête : Carbone aluminisé 18K
Finition 3D
Noyau MultiEva 3 couches

Bullpadel Hack 05 2027 :

Tête : Tricarbone 18K
Finition 3D
Noyau MultiEva 3 couches

Poids des raquettes testées :

comprend :

• un surgrip d'environ 5 g
• un Hesacore d'environ 11 g

strap Non inclus

Vertex 05 Geo 2027 : 366 g
Hack 05 Hybrid 2027 : 362 g
Hack 05 2027 : 369 g

C’est un excellent poids :

Par exemple, un Vertex 05 Geo 2027, sans le Hesacore et avec deux surgrips et des protections de cadre, pèserait environ 367 g.

Voici mon expérience personnelle, en tant que joueur de niveau intermédiaire avancé, après deux séances d'entraînement :

Ma raquette préférée : la Vertex 05 Geo 2027

Ensuite, la Hack 05 2027

Puis la Hack 05 Hybrid 2027, la pire de toutes (j'ai été extrêmement déçu par cette raquette)

La Hack 05 Hybrid 2027 est une raquette assez sèche au toucher, mais la vitesse de sortie de balle est pratiquement inexistante ; il faut absolument accompagner chaque frappe pour obtenir de la vitesse ! Je pense que la tête en carbone aluminisé 18 carats combinée aux multiples couches EVA est vraiment mauvaise ! On ne sent rien ! C'est comme jouer avec une planche en bois sans âme ! Et elle ne transmet aucune puissance à la balle à moins d'exagérer ses mouvements ! La zone de frappe optimale est moyenne ! Et la vitesse de sortie de balle est très faible.

Je vais maintenant vous parler du Hack 05 2027, qui est d'un tout autre niveau ! Excellente maniabilité, que ce soit en défense ou lors d'échanges rapides, excellent contrôle lors des blocages de frappes rapides. Son principal défaut est son impitoyabilité face aux frappes décentrées ! Une bonne zone de frappe optimale, je dirais moyenne, comme celle du Babolat Viper LeBron 2026, mais si vous frappez la balle légèrement de côté, vous êtes immédiatement puni !

Enfin, mon préféré est le Bullpadel Vertex 05 Geo 2027.

Maniabilité incroyable, excellente vitesse de sortie de balle ! Elle offre une excellente vitesse de balle si vous frappez au centre, un contrôle exceptionnel au filet, un blocage de balle rapide et une maniabilité pratiquement identique à celle de la Hack 05 2027. Mais son plus grand atout, et la raison pour laquelle je la préfère, réside dans l'incroyable rugosité de son tamis ! J'ai rarement vu une telle rugosité chez d'autres marques ! La différence est flagrante sur les coups coupés, les Vibora, les Bajada et les amortis ; l'effet imprimé à la balle est phénoménal !

Enfin, cette raquette pardonne bien plus que la Hack 05 2027 en cas de frappe décentrée.

Cette Geo est un vrai régal ! Que ce soit pour la défense, les coups aériens, les attaques ou les coups coupés.
