About This Racket
The Fibreglass 3K weave is what sets this apart from standard carbon rackets. The face snaps back faster on contact, translating to more ball speed on volleys and a crisper feel on flat shots.
NOX's HR3 Hard EVA strikes a balance between power and comfort. Firmer than soft EVA found in beginner rackets for better energy return, but not so stiff that it jars your arm.
Round with a medium balance point. Maximum sweet spot for consistency and control on every shot.
Developing players who play at least once a week and want to sharpen their placement and tactical game. Ideal if you prefer defence and rallies over smashing.
