Description
NOVA LUX
Step into every point with intent using the NOVA LUX Padel Racket, engineered for intermediate to advanced players who want to dominate rallies with power, control, and precision.
Built with a diamond-shaped frame, this racket shifts more weight toward the head for extra force on attacking shots. The 12K carbon face delivers a crisp, direct feel, while the EVA medium performance foam balances out the firmness with a responsive, comfortable touch. It’s a powerful setup — but still versatile enough for defensive positioning and quick reactions at the net.
A standout feature is the 3D textured surface, which helps players generate spin more effectively, especially on topspin smashes or cut volleys. The central sweet spot is visually marked by the NOVA star logo, helping you connect cleanly and consistently in every exchange.
Understated yet technically refined, the Nox and Lux reflect NOVA’s core philosophy: high performance, minimal distractions, and sharp design for players who let their game speak first.
NOVA
Not another brand claiming to have the best racket. NOVA was created because padel is different—it’s social, communal, and built around real people: the group chats, the dads vs dads, the company rivalries, the easy connections made on court. We built NOVA for that culture. Not to be louder—but to reflect what the sport actually is and who it’s for.
Our gear is designed to perform, but also to represent a mindset—understated, functional, and refined. We took our time: testing materials, refining specs, and building rackets with balance, feel, and durability in mind. No gimmicks. No hype. Just honest performance that holds up over time.
Because let’s face it—another “precision airflow” racket promising to boost your smash isn’t the answer. We’re not here to sell fantasy. We’re here to deliver something real.
12K CARBON
Why we chose 12K Carbon
- Higher Quality Comes at a Cost — and That’s OK
Many padel brands opt for lower-cost materials like 3K carbon or even fiberglass composites to cut production costs. While these weaves are cheaper to manufacture, they often compromise on durability, consistency, and feel.
At NOVA, we chose 12K carbon knowing it’s more expensive — because we aren’t interested in shortcuts. Our aim is to deliver a racket that performs at a high level from day one and continues to do so long after. The quality of materials matters, and our customers deserve the best.
- Built to Last
Padel rackets are subjected to constant impact, torque, and environmental wear. 12K carbon is specifically known for its superior tensile strength and structural stability. Its tightly packed fibers give it greater resistance to cracking, deformation, and fatigue than more flexible weaves.
This means your racket won’t just play well — it’ll keep performing season after season, even under regular, intense use. It’s an investment in longevity.
- Better for the Player's Journey
A lot of rackets are either too soft (lacking feedback and control) or too stiff (causing arm fatigue or reduced touch). 12K carbon sits in the middle — offering a dynamic, responsive feel that adapts to the player’s style and growth.
As your game improves, you need a racket that evolves with you. Whether you're developing more aggressive shots or refining your control game, 12K carbon provides enough power, feedback, and forgiveness to stay with you as you progress.
- Balanced Power + Control
12K carbon is the sweet spot. It offers a solid contact surface for attacking play, while maintaining enough flexibility for defensive control and comfort on volleys. The result is a racket that works with you, not against you, whether you're dictating pace or absorbing pressure.

FAQ
Are NOVA rackets suitable for all levels?
Yes. While NOVA rackets are performance-built, their balance and feel make them accessible to developing and intermediate players.
What do I need to play Padel?
To play padel, all you really need is a racket, a few balls, and a pair of non-marking shoes with good grip. Most games are doubles, so bring a friend or join a match.
If you're just starting out, many clubs offer rental gear — but if you’re ready to commit, consider investing in a racket that suits your playing style, a bag that keeps your gear organised, and essentials like a cap and racket sleeve to protect your kit.
At NOVA, we offer thoughtfully designed rackets, functional bags, sleek caps, and protective sleeves — everything you need to get on court and stay prepared.
Why is Padel so popular?
Padel is blowing up worldwide because it’s fast, fun, and ridiculously social. Easy to learn but challenging to master, it’s the perfect sport for everyone—from first-timers to seasoned pros. Plus, the smaller court and forgiving rallies keep the action going and the fun factor high.
Will you be adding more products soon?
Yes — we’re expanding into bags, apparel, and accessories. Follow us on Instagram @novapadelco or sign up for our newsletter to be the first to know.
Can you play Padel singles?
Yes! Padel balls look like tennis balls but are slightly smaller and less pressurized for optimal bounce.
How often should I replace my padel racket?
Depending on usage, a racket typically lasts 6-12 months for frequent players and 1-2 years for casual players.
Is Padel a good workout?
Absolutely. Padel delivers a full-body workout that improves coordination, burns calories, and keeps your heart pumping—all while being so much fun you’ll forget you’re even exercising.
How many Padel Courts are there in the UK?
Padel is exploding in the UK! As of 2024, there are 480 courts, both indoor and outdoor, with more opening every month. It’s never been easier to find a court and get started.
