Specifications
The Nox AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2025 keeps a teardrop shape, a tubular carbon frame, 18K aluminized carbon faces, and a multilayer MLD Black EVA core on a medium balance, built as Agustín Tapia's signature racket for players who want power without losing composure on defense. Players get a genuinely gentle defensive ball exit alongside real pace on finishing shots, backed by vibration control from the Pulse System and Custom Grip, in exchange for a racket that still asks for committed, settled technique. It suits intermediate to advanced players who want one racket that covers both ends of the court, while players still building their basic game are better served by a softer, more forgiving racket elsewhere in Nox's range.
- Multilayer MLD core gives a genuinely gentle defensive ball exit for a full carbon racket.
- 18K carbon faces deliver real bite on the smash and at the net.
- EOS Flap and the teardrop shape keep the racket easy to redirect.
- Pulse System and Custom Grip noticeably cut vibration for a carbon build.
- Still punishes a loose or late swing more than a softer, more forgiving racket.
- Not built for players still developing their basic technique.
- Comfort trails a softer, foam heavy racket on a mishit.
- Oversize Grip extension will not suit every player's preferred hand position.
The AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026 delivers a comfortable, forgiving all-rounder built on the same mould and technologies as the Pro Cup Hard, but with a HR3 Soft EVA core that favors easy ball output and arm comfort over raw firmness. Defense, net play and the bandeja and víbora are all comfortable zones, while smashes and flat attacking shots ask the player to supply more of the pace personally. This is a racket for players who value control, comfort and consistency over maximum explosiveness, whether they are advanced players building points patiently or intermediate players moving up who want a forgiving tool to grow into.
- Arm friendly impact backed by the Pulse System.
- Easy ball output and strong rebound from the baseline.
- Generous sweet spot for the category.
- Stable, controlled volleys and reliable chiquita play.
- Lacks the punch of the Pro Cup Hard on flat attacking shots.
- Smashes depend on the player supplying pace rather than the racket.
