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. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 28 September 2026 Choose 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 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Checked every night. [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/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](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) 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](https://padell.io/rackets/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](https://padell.io/rackets/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. The X-Zero family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **X** Outside the Nox range, the [Kuikma Rental](https://padell.io/rackets/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. ## No reviews yet No independent review of the X-Zero is on record yet, so treat the picture as a reading of the specs.

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. **Is the X-Zero 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 Nox X-Hero plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 58.96. [Compare side by side →](https://padell.io/compare/nox-x-hero-vs-nox-x-zero/) **Who should not buy it?** 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. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
