Description
The NOX Genius 18K Alum 2027 is the new version of Agustín Tapia's all-round racket, the model sold until now as the AT10 Genius 18K Alum. NOX has dropped the AT10 prefix for 2027, but the idea is the same: a teardrop that sits between control and power, so it works from the back of the court and at the net.
The 18K aluminised carbon face gives a solid response that stays consistent as the temperature changes, and the multilayer MLD Black EVA core keeps slow balls lively while staying firm on hard hits. For 2027 the Genius mould has been refined for better aerodynamics and balance, and NOX has added VCS, an elastomer lining inside the handle that cuts vibration. Interchangeable 2 g and 4 g weights let you add up to 8 g and tune the balance.

Weights are nominal. Grips, overgrips and protectors add a few grams to any racket.
