NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025 – Precision, Control and a Direct Response
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025 is a high-end all-round padel racket developed in collaboration with Agustín Tapia. It combines control and manoeuvrability with a firm, direct response and is designed for advanced and competitive players who demand precision without sacrificing attacking potential.
The main difference lies in the 18K Alum Carbon hitting surface. Combined with the MLD Black EVA core, it gives the AT10 Genius 18K Alum a solid and responsive feel. The teardrop shape and balanced weight distribution make the racket versatile enough for both defensive play and attacking at the net.
Why Choose the NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025?
The AT10 Genius 18K Alum is designed for players who want complete control over their shots. The racket offers excellent stability during controlled shots while responding immediately when you accelerate.
This makes it particularly suitable for players who build points tactically, place their shots accurately and then increase the pace. Volleys, bandejas and víboras can be executed with control, while the racket provides sufficient responsiveness when attacking aggressively.
18K Alum Carbon for a Firm and Consistent Feel
The hitting surface is made from 18K Alum Carbon. This material combines carbon fibres with an aluminised finish, contributing to a firm and consistent response.
The construction is also less sensitive to temperature changes than conventional carbon. This helps maintain a more consistent playing feel in different conditions.
MLD Black EVA: Responsiveness at Different Shot Speeds
Beneath the carbon surface lies the MLD Black EVA core. This multi-layer core is designed to respond differently depending on the speed at which you strike the ball.
During controlled shots, the core supports ball feel and control. When you accelerate more aggressively, the construction provides increased firmness and responsiveness. This perfectly complements the versatile characteristics of the AT10 series.
Dual Spin for More Spin on the Ball
The hitting surface features Dual Spin: a combination of a 3D texture and a rough sand finish. This creates additional grip on the ball during contact.
It helps with shots where spin plays an important role, such as slices, topspin, bandejas and víboras.
Faster Through the Air with EOS Flap
The EOS Flap openings on the sides of the racket help optimise weight distribution and improve aerodynamics. As a result, the racket remains highly manoeuvrable during fast rallies and quick reactions at the net, despite its firm construction.
Comfort and Vibration Dampening
For additional comfort, NOX uses the Pulse System, which incorporates elastic elements in the frame to help reduce vibrations transmitted to the hand.
The racket is also equipped with NOX Custom Grip® for additional grip and cushioning around the handle, as well as the Smartstrap® system, which allows the safety wrist strap to be easily replaced.

Who Is the NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025 Suitable For?
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025 is particularly suitable for advanced and competitive players looking for a versatile racket with excellent control and a firm, direct response.
It is well suited to technically skilled players who enjoy alternating between controlled point construction, accurate placement and acceleration. Its teardrop shape makes it versatile enough for all areas of the court, while the 18K Alum Carbon particularly benefits players who appreciate precise and well-defined ball contact.
NOX AT10 Genius 12K or 18K Alum 2025?
Both the AT10 Genius 12K and AT10 Genius 18K Alum are versatile rackets from Agustín Tapia's 2025 collection. The main difference lies in the hitting surface and the resulting playing feel.
The AT10 Genius 12K is an excellent choice if you are looking for a versatile combination of control, power and a more accessible response. The AT10 Genius 18K Alum is aimed more at players who prefer firmer, more direct ball contact and place great importance on precision and stability.
In short: choose the 12K for a more versatile and slightly more accessible feel, or the 18K Alum for a firmer and more direct response.
