Nox Future Control 12K Alum 2025 Padel Racket

On Padelful's numbers this is a well-balanced racket: 8.9 for handling, 8.6 for control, 8.5 for power and the sweet spot, and 7.5 for rebound. A power score of 8.5 is high for a round frame. The dense EV50 core and the stiff 12K Alum face give the ball a sharp exit when you swing, while the round head and low balance keep the racket quick in your hand.

The lower rebound is the trade. The ball doesn't spring off the face from a passive block, so defending from the back means swinging through it. Tennisnuts lists it as a control racket for intermediate and advanced players, and that's about right.

Nox made the Future in three shapes on the same EV50 core and 12K Alum face. The Future Hybrid is the teardrop with a medium balance, and the Future Attack is the head-heavy diamond Padelful scores 9.6 for power. The Control gives up power to both and wins on handling and overall score.

Both are round carbon control rackets from Nox at much the same weight. Lamperti's ML10 Ventus Control 3K has a finer 3K face over an HR3 core: Padelful scores it higher for control (9.0) and rebound (8.4), lower for power (7.9) and handling (8.4). The Future Control is the quicker, punchier racket; the Ventus the more exact and forgiving one when you're pushed back.

Intermediates moving up to carbon and advanced players who like to play at the net and place the ball. It sits on our control padel racket page alongside the other round rackets we list.

Fit a Nox protector to save the carbon frame on low scoops, and keep a fresh overgrip from our padel grips range on the handle. A tube of Nox Pro Titanium or anything on our padel balls page suits it, along with padel shoes with a herringbone sole and a padel bag.
