Analysis

Shape and Balance

The Nox X-One EVO Black 2023 is characterized by its round shape. The advantage this poses is a more balanced distribution of weight, despite its slightly heavier build. This balance lends itself to an increased sense of stability which worked to enhance shot precision during play, making this racket suited to both beginner and intermediate players.

Materials

Another feature worthy of mention is the incredible combination of materials that the Made in Nox team has integrated into the X-One EVO Black 2023 racket. The frame structure uses 70% Carbon, and the faces are constituted by Fiber Glass 3K. This blend, paired with the EVA HR3 core, makes this the gold standard for medium-soft feel rackets. It's clear to see how the choice of materials contributes significantly to the durability of the racket, allowing it to withstand prolonged play and effects of weathering.

Power and Control

The Nox X-One EVO Black 2023 is a racket that champions control.
