Conclusion: evolution rather than revolution
Design and aesthetics: recognizable, yet refined
The new NOX 2026 line immediately shows that the brand remains true to its identity, but has implemented subtle improvements.
While the 2025 models primarily focused on raw power and the typical hard NOX feel, the 2026 collection exudes more refinement. The edges are sharper, the color combinations more modern, and each model has its own distinct character.
The AT10 series, Agustín Tapia's signature model, comes in a striking mix of silver-white and deep blue, while the ML10 Ventus Control for the first time combines the classic Lamperti design with a more modern matte finish.
NOX has clearly thought about how each racket not only performs but also feels in hand. The result: rackets that not only look powerful but truly are.
New technologies in the 2026 collection
The keyword this year is Alum XTREM – a new type of aluminized carbon that provides more stiffness without sacrificing comfort.
In addition, all luxury models will feature the Weight Balance system, allowing players to adjust the balance point themselves.
The rough Dual Spin coating is finer and more evenly distributed across the face, ensuring better grip on the ball during volleys and bandejas.
Finally, NOX introduces several new EVA cores – from the hard HR3 Hard EVA to the softer MLD Black EVA – tailored to the playing style of each racket.
The collaboration between NOX and Edu Alonso
With the launch of the new EA10 Ventus line, NOX welcomes a fresh, energetic player to its signature team: Edu Alonso.
Alonso is considered one of the most promising young Spanish players on the World Padel Tour and is known for his explosive, dynamic style – precisely what NOX was looking for in their new generation of rackets.
The collaboration revolves around two models:
Both models are built around the same 12K XTREM carbon layer also used in the Tapia series, but with their own balance and weight distribution. The Hybrid version is more versatile and slightly more agile, while the Extreme version is more focused on power and aggressive net attacks.
What is striking is that NOX did not simply put Edu Alonso's name on a racket. His input was clearly visible in the design: the weight distribution, the balance point, and even the rough finish are tailored to his personal playing style.
The result is a line that feels younger, more aggressive, and faster – a clear step towards the new generation of padel players.
The EA10 line shows that NOX is not only focusing on established names like Tapia and Lamperti but also daring to invest in the future. And you can feel it: every EA10 racket is a mix of innovation, flair, and brutal speed.
NOX AT10 GENIUS 12K ALUM XTREM 2026 vs AT10 12K 2025
The AT10 12K 2026 is not an entirely new racket, but rather a refined version of a classic. The power has slightly increased and the racket feels stiffer, while control remained virtually the same.
The biggest gain is in ball response: the ball leaves the racket slightly faster and more precisely, especially in net play.
The new Alum XTREM carbon layer makes the racket drier and more direct – less forgiving, but deadly effective in the hands of an experienced player.
In short: more punch, a slightly smaller sweet spot, and a rougher face for extra spin. The perfect upgrade for players who found the 2025 version a little too soft.
NOX AT10 GENIUS ATTACK 12K ALUM 2026 vs AT10 Attack 12K 2025
The Attack version is designed for players who want to dominate at the net. In the 2026 edition, the hitting power has been further increased by the stiffer Alum XTREM layer.
The ball output decreases slightly, which is logical with this stiffer character, but the precision on volleys and smashes is spectacular.
Control on high balls and overheads has improved, while the new rough finish ensures that you can "grip" the ball even better in the air.
In short: more aggressive, more powerful, and more stable than its predecessor – a true weapon for the attacking player.
NOX AT10 GENIUS 18K 2026 vs AT10 18K 2025
The 18K Alum 2026 offers a softer and more dampened feel than the previous 18K version. The addition of aluminum to the carbon fiber reduces vibrations and increases playing comfort.
The sweet spot is larger, ball exit is more predictable, and the racket feels better balanced.
You sacrifice a little pure power, but gain a lot in control and stability.
In short: smoother, more comfortable, and more reliable – ideal for players who want to rely on precision both at the baseline and at the net.
NOX AT10 GENIUS ATTACK 18K 2026 vs AT10 Attack 18K 2025
With the Attack version with 18K Alum, the power has remained virtually the same, but the response feels more stable and consistent.
Thanks to the new material, the racket vibrates less on impact and reacts more evenly to off-center hits.
The balance point has been slightly optimized, making the racket surprisingly agile despite its power.
In short: the same power as in 2025, but with more control and less vibration – an upgrade you'll notice with every smash.
NOX ML10 VENTUS CONTROL 3K BY MIGUEL LAMPERTI 2026 vs ML10 Pro Cup 2025
The Ventus Control 2026 is an elegant evolution of the Lamperti line. The new 3K carbon construction makes the racket lighter and easier to maneuver.
The HR3 Colour EVA core offers a softer touch and more forgiveness for defensive shots.
The biggest difference is control: it has become even more consistent, with a noticeably larger sweet spot and less vibration.
In short: more comfortable and precise than ever, made for players who prefer placement over brute force.
Conclusion: evolution rather than revolution
The NOX 2026 collection builds on what NOX has been doing well for years: solid, reliable rackets with character.
The changes are mainly in the details – new materials, more stability, and better ball response – but these details make all the difference on the court.
Whether you choose the AT10 12K XTREM with its direct stroke, the 18K Alum for pure balance, the ML10 for control, or the EA10 for explosive power: every player will feel that NOX has once again raised the bar.
