5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life and performance of your NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Padel Racket.

Cleaning:

• Wipe the racket face and frame with a damp cloth after each use to remove dirt and sweat.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the racket's materials and finish.

Storage:

• Store your racket in a protective cover or bag to prevent scratches and impacts.
• Keep the racket in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, which can affect the materials.

Grip Care:

• Regularly check your grip for wear and tear. Replace it when it becomes smooth, worn, or loses its tackiness to maintain optimal control and comfort.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Padel Racket, refer to the following common troubleshooting tips:

• Reduced Power/Control: Check your grip for wear. A worn grip can lead to slippage and reduced effectiveness. Also, ensure your technique is consistent.

• Racket Damage: For any significant cracks, dents, or structural damage, discontinue use immediately and contact NOX customer support or an authorized dealer for assessment. Do not attempt to repair structural damage yourself.
