Nox EA10 Ventus hybrid 12K Xtrem 26

The EA10 Ventus hybrid 12K Xtrem 26 Nox is a racket designed together with Edu Alonso for the 2026 collection, created for players looking for a fast, dynamic and versatile game. With a teardrop format and balanced balance, it offers agility in fast shots, power and control to adapt to any situation on the court. Its 12K Xtrem Carbon construction and Multilayered Black EVA (MLD EVA) core provides firm touch, stability and consistent ball output. The Tear head shape spreads mass a little further from the hand than a round frame while staying short of a full diamond, and Nox pairs it here with a Control balance, which keeps the weight distribution toward the handle rather than the tip despite the shape. The core is a Hard EVA, the stiffest of the density options, matched to a Carbon frame faced in 12K carbon, a denser weave than the 3K carbon used elsewhere in the range and generally stiffer again. A hard core under a stiff, densely-woven frame returns more energy on a clean, centred hit and less forgiveness on a mishit, while the Control balance and Tear shape temper the swing weight rather than pushing it toward the tip. Roughness is listed Yes, so the face is textured for spin. At a listed weight of 360-370 g and Advanced level, the build suits a player with consistent technique wanting a stiff, spin-oriented racket rather than a beginner or a player prioritising maximum forgiveness.
