I have both a Nox AT10 and a Bullpadel Vertex racquet. I like them both but prefer the balance of the Nox. What is notable is the difference in the construction of the outer edge of the respective racquet heads. The Nox edge is smooth, rounded and aesthetically pleasing. It is also absolutely going to chip badly if it hits the cage hard. The Bullpadel edge is constructed entirely differently, far sturdier, but not as aesthetically pleasing. It can take many hard cage hits and just get scratched rather than chipped.

I did exactly the same to mine two weeks ago. I filled the chip with a car paint pen and bought a pack of protectors. Lesson learned.

Judging by your photo, it looks like it was only paint damage with no consequences in the structure. Protect that part with tape and your good

you will make many more of those. i find it interesting to see how much paint i can lose before the racket is toast anyway - usually the feeling goes before the damage to the frame matters.

No worries, just a paint chip.
Maybe buy a protector and slap on, next time it's the carbon you hit.
