NOX X-Foam Tempus 16mm Pickleball Racket

The NOX X-Foam Tempus 16 mm Pickleball Racket is built for tactical, patient playmakers who master the court through strategic placement, resets, and controlled consistency. Designed with a wide square profile, the Tempus maximizes sweet spot size and edge-to-edge stability, making it the ideal choice for players who outsmart opponents at the kitchen line rather than relying purely on power.

Wide Square Geometry & Industry-Leading Stability

Featuring a standard/square paddle dimension of 16 inches in length by 8 inches in width, the Tempus provides a massive, forgiving hitting area. Combined with an extraordinary Twist Weight of 7.36, it offers class-leading resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This guarantees crisp, controlled returns even on hard-driven shots or emergency defensive reaches.

16 mm Gen4 X-Foam Core & Plush Vibration Absorption

At the core of the Tempus is NOX’s Gen4 X-Foam matrix in a plush 16 mm thickness. This combination optimizes dwell time, giving players the soft feedback necessary to place delicate kitchen dinks, absorb heavy drives, and execute accurate third-shot drops with zero harsh arm vibration.

Textured T700 Raw Carbon Surface & Spin Performance

The face is layered with textured T700 Raw Carbon Fiber, offering high-friction surface grip to generate heavy topspin, slice resets, and sharp roll volleys. The raw carbon texture keeps ball control locked in across all speeds.
