NOX Shovel Technologies

Within the framework of the shovel

• Carbon Frame : Carbon frame. Using this material in the frames gives more rigidity and durability to the frame and the blade in general.
• Dynamic Composit Structure : By applying more material from the frame to four centimetres inside the face we minimise the difference in hardness between the frame and the face. In this way, when the ball is hit with the outer parts of the paddle we minimise the possible cutting of the fibres that could occur when the rubber sinks.

In the core of the blade

• HR3 Black EVA : Core with high-density black HR3 rubber with the highest memory effect. This provides greater power both when hitting and when exiting the ball.

On the face of the blade

• Carbon 18K : Maximum rigidity and resistance while maintaining the lightness of the paddle thanks to the finest interlaced carbon microfilaments in our range of paddles.
• Exclusive SPIN+ : Innovative technology that includes two types of rough finish on the surface of the face, the hexagonal 3D located in the center of the racket and the sand finish on the rest. With this double roughness we obtain greater control and the possibility of printing greater effects on the ball.

Other areas of the blade

• SmartStrap: Customize your paddle, improve hygiene and safety by easily replacing the cord without losing the warranty by not having to manipulate the bottom plug.
• Oversize Grip : Increased grip length for easier gripping.
• Anti Vibration AVS System : System for absorbing vibrations produced by off-center impacts.

The AT.2 Genius LTD Pack is delivered with:

• NOX AT.2 LTD Shovel
• A set of black wristbands with silver logo.
• Two interchangeable safety laces designed specifically for the Limited Edition model.
• Replica keychain of the AT.2 Genius LTD 2023 shovel with exclusive design.

Why should you change the safety cord on your padel racket?

The safety cord is a fundamental element of a padel racket. So much so that the regulations require all rackets to incorporate it and to use it during the game. Its function is, obviously, to avoid accidents in case the racket slips in our hand and hits another player.

FOR SAFETY
During the game, the safety cord becomes soaked with the player's sweat. Over time, sweat degrades the fibres to the point of breaking. Another possible reason for breakage is if the internal knot that links the cord to the structure of the racket comes undone. In any case, if the cord on our racket is broken, it must be replaced as the regulations do not allow playing without a system for securing the racket to the wrist.

FOR HYGIENE
As we have pointed out previously, the paddle cord is constantly exposed to the player's sweat, producing bad odours over time. In the case of paddle rackets shared by more than one person (for example, test rackets, rental rackets, etc.) the health risk component must be taken into account. In the case of shared rackets, the overgrip of the racket should always be changed and the cord disinfected after each use.

FOR PERSONALIZATION
Every player has their own preferences. Some prefer the traditional rope, others prefer the bracelet type, some prefer more length, others a tighter fit… Until now, players have had to make do with the factory-supplied system regardless of their preferences.

Apart from being able to choose the fastening system, aesthetic customization can also be a reason for change. For example, a bracelet with our name, the flag of our country or a phrase that motivates us in our games.

For all these reasons: wouldn't it be ideal if the safety cord were just another accessory for the padel racket and not a fixed element?

The solution: new SmartStrap® replaceable lacing system

Now all the rackets in the Luxury, Pro and Advanced ranges of the 2023 collection incorporate the SmartStrap® replaceable lacing system. A system that allows you to change the lacing in less than 2 minutes, without manipulating the racket or losing the purchase guarantee. In addition, all the rackets in these ranges come with two safety fastening systems so you can choose: the traditional rope and the bracelet.
