Editorial assessment · 2026 model
The X-Aura 2026 is a soft-feeling, round racket for beginners and improving players. Padel Market lists a fibreglass face, carbon frame, HR3 EVA core and low balance, with a 360–375 g range. We would consider it if you like a soft response and are comfortable using this weight for a full session.

X-Hero is the lighter comparison at 350–360 g. X-Aura and standard X-One both list 360–375 g, so we would not choose X-Aura to save weight over X-One. X-Aura has a smooth face; standard X-One specifies a sand texture.
For a first racket, start with the weight you can manage, then compare the delivered price and the contact you prefer. The White/Pink colour does not make X-Aura a separate fit category.
Consider an alternative if: You are specifically shopping for a lighter racket.
Adidas
A straightforward first racket with a round head, fibreglass face and soft EVA core. Check the 360–375 g weight range before buying. Compare its delivered price with the older Drive 3.4.
Adidas
A round Adidas for learning the game, with a fibreglass face and EVA Soft Performance core. Its 360–375 g range deserves a check if you use a light club racket. Compare the RX with the Drive before paying extra.
NOX
The NOX X-Auro 2026 is a round racket with fibreglass, HR3 EVA and a low-balance label. It is a sensible beginner candidate if a 360–375 g racket is comfortable to handle.
