Nox X-One Silhouette review

Nox X-One Silhouette Review: The X-One With a Rough Face

The Nox X-One Silhouette is a version of the popular X-One with a rough surface. The 2026 model is round, weighs 350 to 365g and uses an HR3 EVA core with fibreglass faces.

The textured face adds a little spin, which makes it a good step for beginners who are starting to slice the ball.

On Court

The Silhouette plays like the X-One. The round head is forgiving, and the HR3 core is soft and comfortable.

The rough face is the difference. It grips the ball a little more, so slice and topspin come more easily.

For the extra few pounds over the standard X-One, the spin is worth having once you start to develop your game.
