Is This Racket Right For You?

The NOX Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem 2027 is designed for experienced players who want a racket built around offensive pressure.

Its diamond shape and high balance move more mass towards the head, helping generate greater inertia through smashes, attacking viboras and high volleys.

The 12K Xtrem carbon face gives it a firm, direct and stable response, while the MLD Black EVA core helps keep enough control at lower speeds so the racket does not become completely one-dimensional.

This is a strong choice for players who actively look to finish points rather than simply manage rallies.

Who Should Avoid This Racket?

Beginners and players who prefer easy defence, soft touch or neutral balance should probably avoid it.

The high balance and medium-hard feel make it more demanding than an all-round model, particularly under pressure from the back of the court.

If you want the Ventus family but with more balance between control and attack, the Ventus Hybrid 12K Xtrem is the more sensible option.

Product Description

The NOX Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem 2027 Padel Racket by Aimar Goñi is the new attack-focused Ventus for the 2027 collection, evolving from the EA10 Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem 2026 previously associated with Edu Alonso.

For 2027, the racket keeps its aggressive identity with a diamond shape and high balance, but introduces a new player association and updated technologies designed around attacking performance and comfort.

The face uses 12K Xtrem carbon, combining rectangular and square fibre structures to increase overall rigidity and create a more stable, consistent impact. This construction gives the racket a crisp and direct response, particularly useful when accelerating through overheads.

Inside, the MLD Black EVA core balances ball output on slower shots with stronger response on smashes and attacking strokes. This helps the racket retain enough control in defence while still delivering the power expected from a high-balance Attack model.

One of the major updates is the Oversize Grip, which adds 30 mm to the handle. This gives players more room for two-handed shots and also shifts the balance further towards the head, increasing inertia on smashes.

The new VCS vibration-control system has also been introduced. NOX states that it reduces vibration transmitted towards the arm by approximately 60% more than its predecessor, helping improve comfort without removing the firm character of the racket.

The Weight Balance system allows 2 g and 4 g counterweights to be added, up to a maximum of 8 g, so players can fine-tune balance and overall response.

Finally, Dual Spin combines 3D texture with silica sand treatment to improve ball interaction and maximise spin generation.

The result is a medium-hard attacking racket built for aggressive players who want power, rigidity and a direct response without completely giving up control.

What’s New vs the 2026 EA10 Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem?

• New player identity – The 2027 Ventus Attack is now associated with Aimar Goñi rather than Edu Alonso.

• Ventus naming evolution – The EA10 designation has been dropped in favour of the Ventus Attack name.

• 30 mm Oversize Grip – The 2027 model uses an extended handle for extra grip space and increased attacking inertia.

• New VCS system – The updated vibration-control technology is integrated into the handle.

• Greater vibration reduction – NOX states the new VCS system reduces vibration transmitted towards the arm by around 60% more than its predecessor.

• Weight Balance customisation – The racket allows up to 8 g of interchangeable counterweight adjustment.

• Same attacking philosophy – The 2027 model remains a diamond-shaped, high-balance racket designed for offensive players.

• Same firm character – The 12K Xtrem construction continues to provide a direct, rigid and medium-hard response.

How It Plays

The Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem feels firm, powerful and head-heavy.

Its diamond shape and high balance make it particularly effective when attacking overhead, while the 12K Xtrem carbon gives a clean and direct response at impact.

The MLD Black EVA core helps retain some control at lower speeds, but this is clearly an attacking racket first.

Compared with the Ventus Hybrid, the Attack version rewards players who want more inertia through the ball and are comfortable sacrificing some defensive manoeuvrability for stronger offensive output.

Best Areas of the Court

• Smashes – One of its strongest areas thanks to the diamond shape, high balance and extended handle.

• Viboras – Excellent for aggressive acceleration and spin.

• Bandejas – Strong when used offensively to maintain pressure.

• Net play – Very stable on attacking volleys and high balls.

• Transitions – Effective when moving forward and taking control of the point.

• Back court – Usable in experienced hands, although the high balance requires better preparation and timing.
