Nox Luxury Titanium 3K 2021 in the defense
Just like its predecessor the Titanium 3K is easy to handle even though it has a high balance. It doesn’t feel heavy in any way.
The combination of HR3 in the core and a 3K surface is one of the more successful in laboratory tests, according to Nox. We can confirm that it seems to be a successful combo also on the padel court.
The Titanium 3K delivers a nice feel in the defensive game. With proper technique, it delivers good results in lobs and precision shots from the back of the court. The feel is firm but still comfortable. The size of the sweet spot is decent considering this is a diamond-shaped racket.
