In a side-by-side test of seven NOX 2027 rackets, Pablo picked Edu Alonso's EA10 as his favourite for defence and rated it a well-balanced all-rounder: dry and very direct with low ball output, a touch more head weight than the AT10 hybrids but still quick at the net. He recommends it for players who want a firm feel without a very high balance.
“it feels very direct. What you do with your arm is pretty much what the ball does.”
Pluspunten
- + Favourite of the seven for defence
- + Very direct, predictable response
- + Moves quickly at the net (2nd best on volleys)
- + Stiffness, control and manoeuvrability work well on bandeja/vibora
Aandachtspunten
- − Low ball output from the 12K Xtreme faces
- − Sweet spot not especially high: overheads need central contact
- − Slightly harder feel than the AT10 range
