Acero Padel Racket – No. X

Finally back in stock after being sold out for the second time. No. X is our most innovative racket yet with some of the latest technologies. The racket is the result of 1 year of analysis and feedback from hundreds of players. A unique and exclusive composition of the best materials, suitable for amateurs as well as professionals.

The racket has a hybrid shape between drop and diamond, offering the best of both worlds. This racket is equipped with the exclusive and rare composition of 24K on the hitting surface, compared to the industry standard of 3K. This means that the hitting surface is made of carbon fiber with 24,000 carbon fiber threads per square centimeter. The more threads, the faster and more responsive the carbon fiber is in capturing and pushing back the ball. 

On the hitting surface, we also find our appreciated grooved steel pattern, with a depth of 0.8 mm, which provides a bit more "bite" and thus spin on the ball.

No. X has a unique and specially designed drilling that is adapted to the shape of the racket for maximum effect in every ball hit. The racket has three different sizes of holes, where the innermost holes have a diameter (0.8 cm), middle holes (1 cm) and outer holes (1.2 cm). The larger the holes are, the softer the ball hit feels. This drilling makes the sweetspot larger and more forgiving on mis-hits - and even more responsive on clean hits. 

On the racket, we find a total of 71 holes with sharp edges that produces good spin in sliced shots, compared to the industry standard of 64 holes. The slightly larger holes towards the edges contribute an aerodynamic effect that allows it to cut through the air more efficiently than usual, and makes it incredibly easy to maneuver and easy to swing.

Inside the racket, we find our incredibly popular black medium-stiff EVA core, which can be found in all of our rackets. The medium density of the core provides a nice supportive feeling in the soft strokes, and a powerful responsive feeling in the hard strokes, generating plenty of speed. 

The frame is made of 100% carbon fiber and double layers of carbon fiber tubes, making it even more durable and contributing to a solid and stable hitting feel. 

The racket has been equipped with a so-called "Foaming Grip" system inside the handle, and an X-shaped neck between the racket's handle and hitting surface - designed to minimize vibrations and thus reduce the risk of injuries. 

The racket comes with a weight of 355-365 grams and a medium balance of 260 millimeters. Its light weight ensures it's easily maneuverable in the most challenging duels - and is gentle on the elbows and shoulders. The balance determines how the weight is distributed on the racket. A high balance means that it is perceived as front-heavy, and a low balance means that the weight is closer to the hand. The ambition with No. X has been to get it well balanced, so that it feels like it is in the middle of the hand. 

No. X comes in a stylish and sleek cover that protects your racket from high temperature differences and dirt between matches. 

We recommend No. X to recreational players as well as competitive players who demand the best when it comes to materials. This is an all-round racket that leans more towards the offensive side due to its advanced technology and stiff hitting surface. That said, it offers great comfort in the soft defensive play because of its light weight combined with the medium-stiff core and hole technology, making it feel easy to swing. No. X suits a wide range of players but is most rewarding for those who have advanced in their padel journey or are serious about taking their game to the next level.
