[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Nox Future Hybrid 12K Alum is the middle Future racket for 2025: teardrop shape, medium balance, 360 to 375 g. On paper it gives you high control and medium power. It is listed for advanced players. It is heavy and low on comfort, and no review has tested it yet, so the specs carry this page. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who wants control first and some power second - you like a teardrop that sits between a round and a diamond racket - you have a stable arm and are used to a heavy racket of 360 to 375 g Skip it if - your elbow or shoulder complains after long sessions, because comfort reads Low and the weight range of 360 to 375 g is heavy - you want a fast, easy racket at the net, since the StarVie Drax + 2026 reads Medium for maneuverability where this one reads Low - you want one racket for hard smashes only, since the Nox Future Attack 12K Alum is built for that ## How it plays 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

If you are deciding whether that middle position suits you, the specs are the only evidence there is. No review has been found yet. Read everything below as a reading of the specs. The Future family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Attack 12K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/future-attack-12k-alum/) **Hybrid 12K Alum** [**Control 12K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/future-control-12k-alum/) ## Attack, Control and Hybrid: what moves between three Future rackets All three Future rackets from 2025 use an EV50 core, a 38 mm thickness and a weight of 360 to 375 g. All three are listed for advanced players. What changes is shape and balance. The [Future Attack 12K Alum](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/future-attack-12k-alum/) is a diamond with a high balance. Its meters read High power but Low control and a Low sweet spot. The [Future Control 12K Alum](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/future-control-12k-alum/) is round with a low balance. It reads High control, Low power and a Medium sweet spot. The Hybrid is a teardrop with a medium balance. It keeps the High control of the Control model and adds Medium power. You do not get the raw pace of the Attack. Not a racket for one shot, but for a mix. ## Power 90, control 95, says Nox: the ratings against a Medium power meter A brand rating found through a web search puts the Hybrid at Power 90/100 and Control 95/100. Those are [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/)'s own figures, and the method behind them is not explained. The power meter on this page reads Medium. The two do not have to clash. A brand rates its own racket against its own range, while the meter compares the specs with other rackets. Still, treat the Power 90 claim with care. A medium balance and a [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) suggest a racket that gives you pace through weight and a carbon face, not through a heavy head. The control claim fits the meter better. High control is what the specs point to. ## A wide sweet spot, says the product page: the meters read Medium The product page says the teardrop shape contains a wide sweet spot that makes shots safer anywhere on the face. That is a marketing claim. The sweet spot meter reads Medium, and the only driver is the teardrop shape. So expect a usable hitting area, not a forgiving one. Off-centre shots may cost you more than on a round racket. If your contact is clean, this will not bother you. If it is not, the Future Control with its round shape reads Medium for the sweet spot as well, with a rounder shape. ## EV50 under 12K carbon: why control reads High and comfort Low The retailer lists an EV50 core, a 12K carbon face and a carbon frame. The surface is listed as rough, and the handle as Custom Grip. The core and the face are both rated medium, and both raise the control meter. Comfort is the cost. The core helps a little, but the heavy weight class pulls the comfort meter down to Low. If you have had arm trouble, take this seriously. Sensible session lengths help. A lighter racket helps more. ## 360 to 375 g with a Medium balance label: what it asks of your arm The weight range is 360 to 375 g. That is heavy. The balance label is Medium, but the balance in mm is not published, so you cannot place it more exactly than that. The weight adds mass behind the ball. The price is speed. Maneuverability reads Low, so expect the racket to be slower to swing and to bring back into position. The range matters too. The listing gives 360 to 375 g, so the weight you get may sit anywhere inside that window. Fifteen grams is a real difference over a long match. ## Picking your teardrop: Drax + 2026 or Infinity Pro G1 HL Black The [StarVie Drax + 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/starvie/drax-2026/) is also a teardrop with a medium balance and a 12K carbon face. It weighs 360 g and is listed for beginners and intermediates. Its control and maneuverability meters read Medium, where the Nox reads High and Low. If the Nox sounds too heavy and too demanding, that is the step down. The [Dunlop Infinity Pro G1 HL Black](https://padell.io/rackets/dunlop/infinity-pro-g1-hl-black/) and the Metal version share the Nox's shape, weight range, 38 mm thickness and every meter. On the specs alone they are very close. The core differs: the Dunlops use EVA Super flex, the Nox an EV50. Whether that changes anything on court, the specs do not say. Three things are missing for all of them. The balance in mm is not published. The head size is not published. And no review has been found for this racket. A medium label can hide a wide range of real balance points. The head size would tell you more about the sweet spot than the shape alone. Until a reviewer plays it, you are working from the retailer's specs and the brand's claims.

The Hybrid is a teardrop with a medium balance. The Attack is a diamond with a high balance. The Control is round with a low balance. They share the EV50 core, 38 mm thickness and 360 to 375 g weight. **Is the Nox Future Hybrid 12K Alum good for beginners?** Not on paper. The retailer lists it for advanced players, and the heavy build and Low comfort meter ask a lot of an arm that is still learning. The StarVie Drax + 2026 is listed for beginners and intermediates. **Is it hard on the arm?** The comfort meter reads Low, mainly because of the heavy weight class. No review confirms how it feels in practice. If you have elbow or shoulder problems, try a lighter racket first. **Is the balance head-heavy?** The retailer lists a Medium balance, not a high one. The exact balance in mm is not published. **Is the Future Hybrid 12K Alum worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Dunlop Infinity Pro G1 HL Black plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 79.90. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/dunlop-infinity-pro-g1-hl-black-vs-nox-future-hybrid-12k-alum/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.0/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (5.5/10). **How heavy is it really?** The brand gives 360 to 375 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
