What do these versions share?

Every version is listed as round. HEAD recommends this shape for beginners and players seeking control, describing a larger sweet spot, the optimal hitting area, in the centre. The round racket guide explains that shape.

Tennis-Point lists fibreglass faces and HR3 EVA cores for the X-Hero and X-Zero versions. EVA is a rubber-like foam. Padelstore24 lists fibreglass faces and HR3 White EVA for its X-One models, but rates their cores soft rather than Tennis-Point’s hard rating.

How do the versions differ?

The following differences come from Tennis-Point, Padelstore24 and Padel Market. Balance is the distance from the handle end to the balance point; a smaller measurement places it nearer the handle.

X-HERO BLUE: Tennis-Point lists 365 g and 260 mm, with Advanced and Control ratings.
X-HERO RED and WHITE: both weigh 355 g. Tennis-Point lists RED at 260 mm for Beginners and WHITE at 245 mm for Advanced players; both are Control-rated.
X-ZERO BLUE and RED: both weigh 355 g and receive Beginners and Control ratings from Tennis-Point. BLUE has a 240 mm balance; RED has 260 mm.
X-ONE Silhouette 2026: Padelstore24 lists 350–365 g, a soft core and a Beginners rating. It is labelled for women; no balance measurement or game-type rating is listed.
X-one 2026: Padelstore24 lists 360–375 g, a soft core and a Beginners rating. No balance measurement or game-type rating is listed.
X-one Silhoutte 2026: Padel Market uses this spelling and lists HR3 Eva, Advanced and Allround ratings. Weight, balance, face material and hardness are not specified.

Which version matches your shop rating?

For a Beginners and Control rating, Tennis-Point identifies X-HERO RED and both X-ZERO colours. For Advanced and Control, it identifies X-HERO BLUE and WHITE. All receive a hard-core rating, so the beginner label does not mean a soft core.

For a Beginners rating with a soft core, Padelstore24 lists X-ONE Silhouette 2026 and X-one 2026. Use the racket comparison to check listings side by side. The racket finder requires shape, weight and balance, so the X-One listings without balance measurements do not appear there.

Questions

How can I identify a NOX X-One 2026?

Check the year in the shop’s full product name. The catalogue includes X-ONE Silhouette 2026, X-one 2026 and Padel Market’s differently spelt X-one Silhoutte 2026.

Are X-Hero and X-Zero colours just cosmetic?

Tennis-Point lists specification differences between colours. X-HERO BLUE weighs 365 g against RED and WHITE at 355 g, while X-ZERO BLUE and RED have different balance measurements.

Are all these versions from 2026?

Only the X-One listings explicitly carry 2026 in their names. The X-Hero and X-Zero listings have no model year in their names, so they cannot be assigned that year from the listing names alone.
