In shortPlayers find it manoeuvrable, forgiving and easy on the arm, with good control and a big sweet spot. The main complaint is a soft, trampoline-like feel, worse in warm weather and on blocks, and many want more power on smashes. Several report cracking.

Finds the Nox AT10 18K 2025 firmer than the 2024 with less ball exit, demanding better technique in defence, but more precise and controllable on volleys, especially in summer.
“La nox at 18K 2025 comparada con la de 2024, en mi opinión, tiene un punto más de dureza que te obliga un poco más en defensa, la bola no “sale” tanto y debes estar técnicamente mejor atrás.”
Bought it after liking the 2024 version and was disappointed: the 2025 felt harder and drier to them, possibly because of their style of play.
“La compré después de haber probado la 2024 y lamentablemente me decepcionó, probablemente sea por mi juego pero esta 2025 la sentí efectivamente más dura y seca, no me gustó”
