The X-Zero is a beginner racket from Nox, built with an HR3 White EVA core and a 3K fiberglass face in a round shape. On paper it favours control over pace: the power meter reads Low while control sits at Medium. At 350 to 360 grams it stays light enough to swing all match. The catch: comfort also reads Low, so a sensitive arm may want a softer alternative.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 28 September 2026Choose it if
- you are new to padel and want a racket that forgives mishits
- you play a patient game built on placement rather than pace
- you want a round shape with a sweet spot wide enough for learning strokes
Skip it if
- you already generate your own power and want the racket to add to it, since power reads Low here
- you need a soft, arm-friendly feel, since comfort reads Low here
- you want the most cushioned feel, where the Kuikma Rental reads High on comfort and control
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
The five meters point to a racket built for learning strokes, not for hitting winners.
- Control medium, helped by the round shape and medium balance, so mishits do not punish you as hard.
- Power low, the fiberglass face and round shape both pull it down, so you supply most of the pace yourself.
- Comfort low, the hard HR3 core does not cushion much, so hard sessions may leave your arm feeling it.
- Handling medium, the round shape and medium balance make it easy to bring through the swing quickly.
- Forgiveness medium, wide enough for a beginner to trust, without being generous.

Nox pitches the X-Zero as a racket for beginners, and the numbers back that word up more than most marketing copy does. The brand lists it at Beginner level. Every meter derived from its specs points the same way, toward a light frame built around control rather than speed. There is no fine print needed here, just a spec sheet that matches the label.
A beginner label the meters actually support
The X-Zero weighs between 350 and 360 grams, light by padel standards. The round shape and Medium balance together give it a Medium maneuverability reading. That weight still matters on court: a light racket is easier to swing quickly, which helps when you are still learning where the ball is going. Control also reads Medium, not high, but enough that early technical mistakes do not turn into total misses.
Round shape, hard core: where the control comes from
The core is HR3 White EVA, a hard rubber, paired with a 3K fiberglass face inside a carbon frame. Nox's product page describes the core as giving a feeling of great control. The round shape and matt surface at 38 mm thickness support that same intention: a wide, forgiving strike zone rather than a narrow power zone.
Why the power meter reads low, and what that costs you
The power meter reads Low, and the drivers explain why. The hard EVA core would normally push power up. But the fiberglass face and round shape both pull it back down. That trade-off is consistent: this is a racket that asks you to build the point rather than end it early.
Two numbers Nox has not published
Two figures buyers often compare are missing here. Balance in millimeters is not published, only the label Medium. Head size in square centimeters is also not published. Shops separately list a nominal weight of 355 grams, worth noting with some caution since it comes from retailer listings rather than the brand.
X-Zero, X-One or X-One Silhouette: picking inside one family
Nox sells more than one racket built on this same idea. The Nox X-One 2026 shares the round shape, HR3 core and Beginner-to-Intermediate positioning. It swaps in a 3K carbon face and reads higher on control than the X-Zero. The Nox X-One Silhouette 2026 matches the X-Zero almost spec for spec: same core, same face, same shape. Its meters land near-identical across the board too. If you are choosing between the two, the name is doing more work than the spec sheet.
Outside the Nox range, the Kuikma Rental sits in similar Beginner territory but with an even balance. It reads higher on control, comfort and maneuverability, useful context if the X-Zero's Low comfort reading concerns you.

Questions before you buy
Is the Nox X-Zero the same racket as the X-One or X-One Silhouette?
No, they are separate names in the Nox range. The X-One Silhouette 2026 shares almost the same specs and meters as the X-Zero. The X-One 2026 uses a 3K carbon face instead of fiberglass and reads higher on control.
Is the X-Zero suitable for a beginner?
Yes, Nox lists it at Beginner level, and the meters, light weight and round shape all support that positioning.
How does the X-Zero compare to the Kuikma Rental?
Both sit at Beginner level with similar weight. The Kuikma Rental reads higher on control, comfort and maneuverability, while both read Low on power.
Will the X-Zero feel harsh on the arm?
The comfort meter reads Low, driven mainly by the hard HR3 core. Players sensitive to arm strain may want to compare it against softer alternatives before deciding.

Skip it if you want easy power for smashes (power 4.5/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 5.0/10).
How heavy is it really?
The brand gives 350 to 360 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
