Where the Attack commits to a diamond head and finishing power, the Hybrid keeps the sweet spot central and the frame usable at both ends of the court. NOX calls it \u003cem\u003epolivalente\u003c\/em\u003e — versatile — and positions it for players who don’t want to pick a side yet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe core is MLD Black EVA, a multilayered rubber running different densities through the frame, rated intermediate-to-hard for feel. The face is 12K carbon. The surface is NOX’s Dual Spin finish — a 3D texture combined with a sandblasted bath, so the bite on the ball comes from the surface itself rather than a coating that wears smooth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStated weight is 360–375g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn the head shape.\u003c\/strong\u003e NOX doesn’t publish one for this racket, which is unusual. Three independent European spec databases all record it as a teardrop with medium balance, and that matches both the model name and the all-round role NOX gives it, so that’s what we’ve listed. One Australian retailer has it down as a diamond — their own product description on the same page says hybrid, so we think that field was copied across from the Attack. NOX also doesn’t publish a profile thickness for this model; 38mm is the legal maximum and its sibling is 38mm, but we’re not going to state it as fact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn comfort.\u003c\/strong\u003e The frame carries NOX’s Anti Vibration System — rubber inserts set into the frame. We have not flagged this racket as arm-friendly: the core is on the firm side and there is no independent evidence about how it treats an arm over a long match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOn independent reviews.\u003c\/strong\u003e None exist for this model. The most substantial third-party write-up is a buying guide written from the specification, with no tester named and no court time behind it.
