Hot and cold: which NOX padel racket to choose depending on the temperature?
That temperature changes influence the game is an open secret, but do you really know what impact it can have on the practice?
Below, we review the basic points that you should take into account in this regard and we will recommend the best paddle rackets to be prepared for any situation.
The court
To get into the subject, we review how temperatures affect the state of the court. In summer and in areas with warm weather, the tendency will be that the surface retains heat and tends to be faster. In addition, as a general rule, less humidity will accumulate on the glass, which means that the ball will bounce with more exit and speed, thus speeding up the game.
However, in winter and cold climates the opposite happens, when the temperature drops there is more humidity and the court is heavier. Therefore slower and... Watch out for the crystals! At certain times, especially from late afternoon to early morning, they can even get wet. Therefore the balls in the wall bounce will hardly come out and you will have to get closer than usual.
The balls
The behavior of the balls goes quite hand in hand with the effects of the weather on the court surface. In hot weather they tend to increase their pressure, which means that they have more output and feel less heavy when hitting. Cold weather has the opposite effect, decreasing their pressure and slowing them down by increasing their heaviness, which is closely related to the increase in humidity.
The best way to overcome any change in temperature? The key is to choose the perfect paddle
There are things you can't control, but this is the difference between adapting or not to temperature changes. So much so, that many coaches recommend that if you live in an area where the temperature varies significantly depending on the season, it is best to have two paddles of different hardness.
The main idea is that extreme temperatures cause the materials to be affected and therefore the factory properties of the racket are altered.
Let's go with the choice of the ideal paddle in each case.
Shovels for hot climates
The sum of the sun and high temperatures is equal to the shovel becomes softer. That is to say, the materials expand and soften making the ball go out more and the game is much faster and at the same time more difficult to control. Don't be surprised if you manage to get it out for three more easily, good weather is on your side!
If you don't want to feel your racquet too soft and uncontrollable, go for intermediate to stiff feel racquets. Paddles with rigid materials and cores that provide hardness such as the multilayer MLD Black Eva will be your best allies for the summer.

Cold weather blades
The weather conditions in winter tend to be adverse, cold and humidity enter the court. In this case, as we have seen, the ball will have less rebound and the racket will decrease the ball output, so the tendency is that the game loses power and speed.
The materials harden and compress with the cold, so you will notice more sense of control but can cost you more strokes as the auction. The ideal will be to opt for blades of intermediate and soft touch, therefore we recommend with HR3 core and carbon layer, or in its absence of fiberglass.
