Nox Nextgen Pro Hybrid 12K NFA Series

The Hybrid build in Nox's NextGen Pro series pairs a 12K carbon face with a Black EVA core tuned for more balance than the Attack sibling - genuine power without tipping all the way into a pure specialist frame. It's built for an advanced player who wants to both attack and construct points from the same racket.
