The review

The 2027 Ventus Attack 12K Xtrem carries over Nox's other diamond: head-heavy at 360 to 375 g, an MLD Black EVA core and a rough 12K Xtrem face, now with Aimar Goñi's name on it.

It hits heavy on drives and finishes on the overhead, with the familiar diamond costs: a firm strike, a small sweet spot and slower hands at the net. It is the credible alternative to the AT10 attack rackets for a player who wants the same intent under a different name.

Highlights

Top 7% for power, and in the bottom tenth for comfort.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 83% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
