Nox Ventus Control 12K 2027 by Aranzazu Osoro

Padelreference's expert notes, on a pre-order page with availability from 15 November 2026, give control 9, comfort 8, effect 8, power 7, handling 7 and tolerance 7. That is the profile you'd draw for a round racket: calm, precise and generous on feel, with little free power.

It's one source on a racket few players have used. For the previous edition, Padelful's 2026 review of the VK10 gave 8.4 overall, with handling at 9.1 and power at 7.3. Different scales, so don't read one against the other.

Zona de Padel lists 360 to 370 g, Padelshop 360 to 375 g; Nox publishes a window rather than a single figure. The balance is low, as a round shape implies, and the 2027 face is described as 12K carbon where the 2026 VK10 was 12K Xtrem. The VK10 prefix has gone from the name.

If you want the reviewed edition, the 2026 VK10 Ventus Control 12K is the one with a Padelful score. For a cheaper round Nox, Lamperti's Ventus Control 3K uses a more forgiving face.

Players who prefer to build, place and wait, and who want a racket that forgives some off-centre contact. Our control padel racket page explains the round shape, and the women's padel rackets range has the lighter options if you want to compare. Pair it with a racket protector, a fresh overgrip from the padel grip range, balls from the padel balls page and padel shoes for sand-filled turf, then browse the full padel racket range.
