Nox pulls out all the stops with its new 2022 racket collection

New year, new collection for Nox. In 2022, transition is key for the brand with the big X, marked by the rise of Agustín Tapia, 22, the new face who is gradually succeeding the legendary Miguel Lamperti, 43. Building on these 2 partnerships, alongside the one with the Alayeto twins, Nox is releasing several palas this year that are well worth a look.

The Luxury range: by professionals, for professionals 

The AT10, racket of the young Agustín Tapia. 

Last year, this pala was available in just 1 version, unlike today where 4 different versions are presented by Nox. In addition to the classic AT Genius Arena that made the product famous, Nox is innovating with an ultra-dense 18k carbon fibre. This technology adds stiffness to maximise power on hard-hitting shots like smashes or volleys. It is featured on 2 rackets: the AT10 Genius 18k, with a round shape, but also on the AT10 Genius Attack 18k, with a diamond shape, making it one of the most powerful rackets on the market, proving devastating when properly controlled. 

 

 

The ML10, racket of legend Miguel Lamperti

An iconic figure of the World Padel Tour and the Nox brand, Miguelito recently re-signed with the brand for an additional 2 years. Giving plenty of reason to release new rackets this year such as the ML10 Pro Cup Luxury Series. A regular in the advanced categories, this round pala to be used by the Argentine player joins the professional range thanks to a new anti-vibration system and rougher faces to enhance spin.  

In the same category, the ML10 Luxury Shotgun offers more power with its diamond shape for players preferring a more offensive style, whilst the ML10 Luxury Bahia and its teardrop shape allow for a more complete and versatile game.  

 

 

The Sanchez Alayeto twins' rackets

To wrap up the professional rackets, let's focus on the sisters Mapi and Majo Sánchez Alayeto aka “Las Gemelas Atómikas”, currently ranked 15th and 16th in the world respectively. Although sharing similar characteristics, the Nox MP10 and Nox MJ10 palas each feature distinctive details.

For the MJ10, versatility is the name of the game with 12k carbon fibre on the faces and a teardrop shape, promoting a balance between power and control. On the other hand, the MP10 offers 3k carbon fibre and a round shape to deliver unrivalled control and manoeuvrability. 

 

 

World Padel Tour rackets: play with the official palas! 

In addition to their partnership with these pro players, Nox is also an official partner of the WPT circuit. Thanks to this, they can offer rackets bearing the World Padel Tour stamp with undeniable qualities. 

The Luxury range also extends to these rackets, notably with the Nerbo World Padel Tour 2022. It is a powerful racket with a diamond shape that also benefits from 18k technology, making it a great alternative to the AT10 Genius Attack mentioned above. 

The Advanced Series range is more accessible and features fibreglass faces for increased comfort upon impact. The Attraction WPT 2022 racket is the power version, whereas the Equation WPT delivers more control and precision for intermediate / advanced players. Note that a women's version is also available. 

The Pro Series range: The Pro Cup, the racket that has stood the test of time. 

Present from the brand's earliest days, the Pro Cup also returns in full force this year with the ML10 Pro Cup 2022 model. As usual, it is highly versatile, offering a very well-balanced power-to-control ratio. Featuring a round shape, highly flexible 3K fibreglass faces, and a carbon frame, the racket will satisfy any player looking to place precise shots without sacrificing too much power. The Silver version is also available, lighter and ideal for women. 

 

 

The Casual range: helping beginner and intermediate players progress in the best possible way. 

In this range, the X-One racket stands out as a must-have for beginners. Highly versatile, it adapts exceptionally well to the player's level whatever their playing style. This pala offers great value for money and is a top choice when picking a first padel racket. 

For women, the Nox Silhouette racket is the equivalent of the X-One, adding more manoeuvrability and lightness. 

 

 

Nox clothing range: when performance meets elegance. 

To complete this already comprehensive collection, the Spanish brand has also released a clothing range featuring Agustín Tapia as headliner. Available in 3 colours (white, black, and red), the Argentine champion's official shirt is simple and elegant, yet packed with technologies like Sweatshirt Control to wick away moisture effectively. With a more lifestyle focus, the women's basic T-shirt is also available with the brand's slogan "makes you improve". Whether for playing padel or simply for everyday wear, this 100% cotton T-shirt can be worn anywhere and is available in red, white, and blue on our site at a very affordable price.
