Agustín Tapia's Padel Racket
The NOX Genius 18K Alum 2027 is Agustín Tapia's professional padel racket. This versatile model combines precision, control and attacking potential in a redesigned teardrop shape. Featuring 18K Alum Carbon, an MLD Black EVA core and a medium-hard feel, it is developed for technically skilled players looking for stable and direct ball contact.
Thanks to its updated construction, adjustable Weight Balance System and EOS Tunnel technology, the Genius 18K Alum offers a combination of stability and manoeuvrability. The racket is suitable for competitive players who want to take the initiative both in defence and at the net.
Why Choose the NOX Genius 18K Alum 2027?
The 18K Alum Carbon provides a solid and precise response. Thanks to the aluminised carbon fibres, the playing feel also remains more consistent across temperature changes.
The MLD Black EVA core combines different material densities. This provides control and good ball output during slower shots, while the core delivers sufficient responsiveness when accelerating through volleys, víboras and smashes.
The redesigned EOS Tunnel construction improves aerodynamics and helps optimise weight distribution. With the Weight Balance System, you can also adjust the racket's weight and balance to suit your personal preferences.
