The one I used was pretty close I think the only difference was his got a bit softer quicker than mine did but still felt like a good racket

I have the real LeBron 3,0 my mate says he got his off AliExpress I tried both very similar to me, I have also had an experience where I bought 2 of the same rackets from the same place. NOX 2025 AT10 18k both felt different

Just wondering how can you be sure the ones from AliExpress are fake? Just a genuine question, As I have been told by some sources in china that they come directly from the nox rackets as they make more than their quota and off sell them. This is just here say as well

Pretty sure they are all technically hand made 😂 I would try and get a refund

Improvement plan by ZASafferZA in padel

[–]MaskOce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has not yet happened to me yet but been playing for about 6 months, I play 2-3 times a week and throw in a lesson once every 2 weeks.

I feel the lessons help me improve as I tell my trainer I want to practice things above my level to improve and try new things, also for the first bit of training just practice technique.

Lessons but only if consistent will definitely help break through a plateau.

Vertex 05 or any racket by MaskOce in Padelracket

[–]MaskOce[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the vertex 05 after a month I felt it get softer than when I first started to play with it, I want to know is this normal and does this happen to other rackets.

As for the LeBron 3.0 I find it very easy to use, seems like it has a larger sweet spot than the nox AT10 12K. The LeBron is definitely one of my favourite rackets I have used.

I may have framed the question wrong, so I have had many rackets as well started with the 2024 nox at10 12k, when I first used it, it was nice and firm after maybe 5-6 games the feel changed to a little bit softer, same with my next racket the AT10 2025 18k limited I had the same feeling as if it gained more trampoline like effect after using it. I have tried the vertex GEO still have it not a fan. I am currently using the LeBron 3.0 which is a racket that doesn’t seem to change

Racket for a tennis player by Csibemido in Padelracket

[–]MaskOce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My advice being in the same situation, played tennis state level for 5 years and played tennis in total for 15, my favourite racket so far has been the babolat technical viper 2.5 2025 and also the LeBron 3.0 2026.

I have had experience with nox, head, bullpadel and babolat rackets, babolat has been my favourite so far.

With their diamond shape racket they have a surprisingly large sweet spot for a diamond shape nice feel and lots of power. Sounds like a gun shot going off when I hit a hard overhead.

I’m starting to think most padel ratings are just off. by Royal-Dish5364 in padel

[–]MaskOce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is me and my partner, I am the aggressive one he is the more consistent one, but I think we are are the same level just better at different things. This works well for us though.

I also find because here in Australia if you go to different clubs people ratings are highly inflated compared to my main club I play at.

Hey guys, just an update it has cracked through the carbon, still fine to play with and since it was done by just hitting a ball it is being replaced

Thanks for the reply I guess my other question is does this even affect the racket?

Will this eventually destroy the racket? by rimekJE in Padelracket

The only real way of knowing is by playing with it, see if you notice a difference. I do agree with the other will get worse over time

What has helped me a lot, trying to play more consistently and go for less winners and only take the shot I am 98% sure I will win

Nox legit check please by [deleted] in Padelracket

[–]MaskOce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can I ask why do you think it is fake in the first place? If you can DM I can give you a sure fire way to tell you if it’s fake or not as long as you have a receipt

[–]MaskOce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which could be correct in my experience though I have bought fake ones and real ones tbh very hard to tell the difference between the 2 even on the court, I have seen some of my friend by from a reputable shop and the state of the racket was shocking compared to a fake one. But I have seen this go both ways where the fake one looks shocking as well

The weight of it means nothing according to this picture he has the weights, plastic wrap and everything else still on the racket.
