🙊 Nox is lying about its multi-EVA rackets?

PadelKunkku revealed that Nox's multi-EVA rackets are NOT multi-EVA. In the fall of last year, photos of Augustin Tapia training with a black racket with the word, "sandwich," on it, were publicized. This lead to much speculation regarding Nox releasing a multi-EVA core.

Multi-EVA cores are a type of core used by many of the major padel racket producers, including Bullpadel, Babolat, and Starvie. This is multiple layers of EVA foam with different densities - think small and larger air bubbles.

The idea is that with hard foam on the exterior of the core and soft foam on the interior, the player will benefit from the easy ball output of a soft core on slow shots and the powerful reactivity of a hard core on fast shots.

Hope this gets resolved soon!

🗓️ 2024 Premier Padel Calendar

Sadly, we will continue to be without Premier Padel for the next month. The 2024 season starts off with the Riyadh P1 on Feb 26. Subscribe to the Padel.FYI Google Calendar for updates here (Shared Google Calendar).

⛔️ Poll results: Galan Lebron separation

The votes are in, and most of you think that Galan and Lebron should separate!

After a disappointing year, partially due to Lebron’s injury, the pair had a successful finish. They wound up losing the Master Final to Paquito Navarro and Fede Chingotto.

Should Galan and Lebron stay together?

🧪 Two Two Play Two review

I’ve been playing with the Swedish brand, Two Two’s, intermediate versatile offering, the Play Two for the past few months.

I really like the racket. It has amazing design and it is super maneuverable. It’s sweet spot could be slightly taller though. It is medium-hard, so I recommend it for players who value control over comfort.
