NOX Pro Shot 12K 16mm Pickleball Racket

The NOX Pro Shot 12K 16mm Pickleball Racket for the 2025 season is designed for players seeking a combination of power, precision, and all-court control. Pairing lightweight 12K Carbon Fiber faces with the NOX Enhanced Comfort Core (NEC Core), this elongated racket offers an energetic response on drives while maintaining a soft, comfortable feel on resets and dinks.

12K Carbon Fiber & Enhanced Comfort Core

The face is built with 12K Carbon Fiber, combining lightweight strength with energy return for fast, responsive hitting. At the center, the NOX Enhanced Comfort Core features an intermediate-density honeycomb matrix surrounded by an expandable injected foam perimeter. This construction broadens the sweet spot, dampens harsh vibrations, and increases torsional stability across off-center hits.

Aerodynamics, Exclusive Spin & NOX Custom Grip

Built for quick handling at the kitchen line, the core incorporates Airflow Dynamics technology to reduce air drag during fast-paced exchanges. The face includes NOX Exclusive Spin surface treatment to generate spin, roll, and placement control in full compliance with USA Pickleball standards. The 5.5-inch handle features the patented NOX Custom Grip (certified by Testea Pickleball), which improves grip security by 52% and cuts arm vibrations by 29%.
