Who Is Aimar Goñi? Meet the 20-Year-Old With His First NOX Signature Racket

Every few seasons a young player arrives on the Premier Padel tour and makes the established pairs look nervous. In 2026 that player is Aimar Goñi. He is 20 years old, almost two metres tall, left-handed, and he now has his very first NOX signature racket: the Nox Ventus Attack 12K XTREM by Aimar Goñi 2027. Here is who he is, why the padel world is excited about him, and a few highlights so you can see it for yourself. Aimar Goñi at a glance Born: 13 October 2005, Pamplona (Navarre), Spain Height: 1.95 m (per NOX) Plays: Left-handed Partner: Edu Alonso Coach: Gustavo Pratto (Gustavo Pratto Academy, Valladolid) Team NOX since: March 2026 World ranking: inside the top 40, up more than 25 places this season Signature racket: Nox Ventus Attack 12K XTREM 2027 From A1 star to starting again at zero Aimar built his early career on the A1 Padel circuit, where he was competing with and beating experienced professionals while still a teenager. He had climbed close to the top of that tour when it folded unexpectedly. That left him with just 3 FIP ranking points and a long road up the Premier Padel ladder. Most young players would need years to recover from that. Aimar needed a few months. In late 2025, partnering the experienced Argentine Lucho Capra, he reached the quarterfinals of the Tarragona P1 and knocked out Spanish legend Paquito Navarro on the way. Speaking to Padel Addict afterwards, he did not hide his ambition: "I believe my ceiling is very high." 2026: the breakout season In early 2026 Aimar teamed up with fellow Spaniard Edu Alonso, a friend he had trained with for years. Within weeks, the new pair was upsetting the biggest names on tour. Good to know: Edu Alonso is also a NOX signature player, with his own 2027 racket: the Nox Ventus Hybrid 12K XTREM by Edu Alonso 2027. It's a teardrop shape with a medium-hard feel, built for advanced all-round players who want control and power in one frame. Asunción P2 (May): beat Martín Di Nenno and Momo González, then took down third seeds Franco Stupaczuk and Mike Yanguas 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 to reach Aimar's first Premier Padel semifinal, where they met Ale Galán and Fede Chingotto. Málaga P1 (July): seeded 11th, they beat fifth seeds Coki Nieto and Jon Sanz 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 in what the Spanish press called one of the matches of the season. Their reward was a quarterfinal against world number ones Arturo Coello and Agustín Tapia. Paris Major (September): at one of the four biggest events of the year, they beat Madrid finalists Coki Nieto and Mike Yanguas 6-4, 6-3 to set up a quarterfinal with Galán and Chingotto. Beating top-five pairs at a P2, a P1 and a Major in one season is not luck. It is the sign of a player who belongs at the very top, and he has only just turned pro on this tour. Why he is so exciting to watch The smash. At 1.95 m with a big left arm, Aimar's overhead is his trademark. His coaches describe it as a natural gift rather than something drilled into him, and he can finish points from the back of the court or send the ball out of the cage when he needs to. Power and intensity. NOX describes his game as aggressive, explosive and intense. Alongside Edu Alonso the pair plays a dynamic, spectacular style that is great to watch and very hard to play against. A long-term project. Both players came up through A1 Padel before moving to Premier Padel, and they talk openly about building for the long run rather than chasing quick results. As Edu put it on NOX's own channel: "Pressure is a privilege that good people have." Watch the highlights Aimar Goñi in 60 seconds Big smashes, big power and a lot of flair. These shorts show exactly why people are already calling him one of the most dangerous players on tour. NOX Update: Edu Alonso & Aimar Goñi Go behind the scenes with the new pair as they talk about their partnership, joining NOX and their goals for the season. Joining Team NOX NOX signed Aimar in March 2026 as part of its push to back the next generation of international talent. For him it was a childhood dream: "For me it is an honour to join Team NOX. It's a brand that I've known all my life, since I was a child." He spent 2026 playing with his partner's EA10 Ventus Attack. For 2027, NOX has handed that racket over to him and rebuilt it around his game, while Edu moves to his own new signature model, the Ventus Hybrid 12K XTREM. The racket: Nox Ventus Attack 12K XTREM by Aimar Goñi 2027 This is a racket built for players who want to attack. If you like to finish points at the net and love a big smash, it is made for you. Shape: Diamond Balance: High, for maximum power overhead Weight: 360 to 375 g Faces: 12K XTREM carbon, mixing rectangular and square weaves for extra stiffness and a crisp, explosive response Core: MLD Black EVA with different densities for power and control Oversize Grip: 30 mm longer handle, great for two-handed backhands and extra leverage on the smash Weight Balance system: add 2 g or 4 g counterweights (up to 8 g) to tune the feel Dual Spin surface: 3D texture plus silica sand for more bite on the ball Vibration Control System: designed to cut vibration for a more comfortable feel Feel: Medium-hard Best for: advanced and competitive players with good technique who play an aggressive, attacking game.
