[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Nox Ventus Attack 12K XTREM is a diamond-shaped Professional racket with a high balance and a weight of 360 to 375 g. On paper it is built for power shots and gives little back on off-centre hits. Nobody has reviewed it yet, and head size is not published. Choose it only if your arm and timing already cope with heavy diamonds. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you already play a heavy diamond and want one with a longer handle - you finish points with smashes and want the head weight behind them - you like to adjust a racket and plan to try the 2 g and 4 g counterweights Skip it if - you are new to Professional-level diamonds and would rather start with the Nox Ventus Control 12K - your elbow or shoulder already complains, because comfort reads Low here - you want a quicker racket at the net, since maneuverability reads Low and the Nox Ventus Hybrid 12K Lite 2027 reads Medium ## How it plays 8.2 **padell.io score 8.2** Play 8.4 (60%) and reviews 7.9 (40%).

It lists the same core, shape, thickness, weight range and balance label. The face label, the handle label and the pro player differ: Edu Alonso before, Aimar Goñi now. Because the player differs, the EA10 is probably a different model, not a true earlier version of this one. A changed label is not proof of a changed racket. Look at the EA10 as a related racket, and compare the two side by side before you assume anything about how they play. ## Price history Today **€ 344.16** Lowest in 30 days **€ 344.16** vs 30-day average **0%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Nobody has tested the Nox Ventus Attack 12K XTREM yet, and the older racket that looks like its predecessor is probably a different model. So this page does not tell a before-and-after story. It reads what a 360 to 375 g diamond with a high balance asks of you. ## Why the EA10 is not a clean predecessor The [Nox EA10 Ventus Attack 12K XTREM](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/ea10-ventus-attack-12k-xtrem/) shares a lot with this racket: same core, same [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), same 38 mm thickness, same [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/). But the listed pro player changed from Edu Alonso to Aimar Goñi. The face label and the handle label changed too. A changed label is not a measured change. Treat the two as relatives, not as an old and a new version of one racket. ## Power without sacrificing control, says Nox The product page describes a racket that delivers power without sacrificing control. That is the brand's claim. The specs tell a narrower story. Power reads High. Control reads Low, because the diamond shape and high balance pull it down even though the carbon face raises it. What does that mean for you? Control here is something you bring yourself. You need a steady swing and good footwork to place the ball. If your game is built on patience and angles, a rounder racket suits you better. If you win points by finishing, the profile makes more sense. ## Where High power and Low comfort come from The core is MLD Black EVA, which the meters treat as hard. The face is 12K Alum Xtrem carbon, which they treat as stiff. Both raise power. Both also lower comfort, and the heavy weight and high balance add to that. The frame is carbon and the surface is Dual Spin. [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) lists the level as Professional. Expect a racket that returns pace on hard hits, but also returns more of the impact to your arm on mistimed ones. A hard-hitting player with good timing will cope. Someone with a sensitive elbow should think twice. ## VCS and the 8 g counterweight kit The racket carries the VCS anti-vibration system, which Nox lists. The product page claims it reduces the vibration reaching your arm more than before. That is a brand claim, and no reviewer has measured it. Even if it works as described, it cannot change a hard core and a stiff face into a soft racket. The meters still read Low comfort. The handle is an Oversize Grip with an extra 30 mm of handle length. Nox says the longer handle gives more room for two-handed shots and adds inertia on smashes. Treat that as the brand's description. The Weight Balance system is more concrete. It allows 2 g and 4 g counterweights, up to a maximum of 8 g. That is a way to tune the racket to your arm. Whether it changes the response in a way you notice, only play will tell. Start with less, not more, on a racket this heavy. The Ventus family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Attack 12K XTREM** [**Hybrid 12K XTREM**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/ventus-hybrid-12k-xtrem/) [**Control 3K**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/ventus-control-3k/) [**Hybrid 12K Lite**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/ventus-hybrid-12k-lite-2027/) [**Control 12K**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/ventus-control-12k/) ## Ventus Attack next to the Genius Attack and the Siux Fenix Pro 4 The [Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/genius-attack-12k-alum-xtrem/) lists the same face, the same core, the same diamond shape and the same 360 to 375 g range. Its meters match this racket's. The difference on paper is the listed pro player: Agustín Tapia instead of Aimar Goñi. If you are choosing between them, there is little in the specs to separate them. The [Genius Attack 18K Alum](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/genius-attack-18k-alum/) has the same meters with a different face label. The [Siux Fenix Pro 4](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/fenix-pro-4/) is a 2024 racket from another brand. It is also a Professional diamond with high balance and 38 mm thickness, listed at 355 to 375 g. Its meters are the same: High power, everything else Low. So the profile is a type, not something unique to Nox. ## What is not published Head size is not published. Neither is the balance in mm. Nox labels the balance only as High. That makes it hard to compare this racket with others in exact terms, and you should not guess the numbers. There are no reviews yet, so you have no outside view on how the frame handles or how the face holds up. Until someone tests it, the specs are what you have. They describe a demanding racket for strong players.

The EA10 has a different listed pro player, and its face and handle labels differ. It is probably a different model, so do not read this racket as a measured update. **Is it a racket for beginners?** No. Nox lists it as Professional, and the meters read Low for control, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot. The Nox Ventus Control 12K is listed at Advanced level with a round shape. **Will it be easy on your arm?** On paper, not especially. The core is hard, the face is stiff and the racket is heavy, so comfort reads Low. Nox adds its VCS system and says it reduces vibration, but no reviewer has tested that claim. **How does it differ from the Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM?** In the specs, mainly the listed pro player: Agustín Tapia on the Genius Attack, Aimar Goñi here. Face, core, shape, thickness and weight range are the same, and so are the meters. **Is the Ventus Attack 12K XTREM worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Pricey today" 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 Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 383.50. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/nox-genius-attack-12k-alum-xtrem-vs-nox-ventus-attack-12k-xtrem/) **Who should not buy it?** Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 3.5/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 1.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (3.0/10). **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/)
