Padel Racket NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum by Agustin Tapia (2026)

The new AT10 Genius 18K Alum for the 2026 season raises the bar for innovation, evolving the racket with which Agustín Tapia reached the top of world padel with a new mold. This year, the violin of the Mozart of Catamarca incorporates the revolutionary Weight Balance system, which allows you to adjust the balance of the racket to your playing style, offering a 100% customizable experience.

As a major aesthetic novelty, the racket debuts Chromic Paint, a reactive paint in the core that synchronizes with the color of the rubber, offering a harmonious and striking appearance on the court. In addition, the new Dual Spin surface combines 3D texture and silica sand finish on the entire face of the racket, maximizing the generation of effects without compromising the durability of the materials.

Technologies:
Carbon 18k alum

Aluminized 18k carbon that provides a solid and comfortable feel and more homogeneous performance in the face of temperature changes.

Multilayered black eva (mld eva)

Multilayer core that achieves different rubber densities to optimize ball output in low-speed defensive shots and power in smashes.

Weight balance

Interchangeable counterweight system that allows you to adjust the weight and balance of the racket according to the player´s preferences. It incorporates 2g and 4g pieces that are easy to place and is compatible with the use of brand protectors.

Carbon frame

Carbon frame. Using this material in the frames gives more rigidity and durability to the frame and the racket in general.

Dual spin

Combination of two rough surface techniques, with 3D texture and sandblasted finish, which expands the spectrum of shots allowing all kinds of effects. This combined double roughness further maximizes the generation of effects, without compromising the durability of the rackets.

Eos tunnel

Lateral perforations integrated into the handle that improve aerodynamics, increase maneuverability and optimize weight distribution, offering a faster, more agile and precise racket in each stroke. Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS)

With the application of more material from the frame to four centimeters inside the face, we achieve that the difference in hardness between the frame and the face is not noticeable. This reduces the risk of fiber breakage when the ball is hit with the outside of the paddle.

Oversize Grip

Grip extension of 30 mm, for players who need a longer grip whether they have a large hand or prefer longer grips.

Pulse System

Reduction of vibrations transmitted to the player´s hand with the insertion of lateral rubbers that go from the base of the frame to the lower part of the paddle cap.

Custom Grip

Pioneering technology that incorporates the patented NOX Custom Grip® technology, certified by Testea Padel for increased grip and reduced vibrations.

Smartstrap

The new Smartstrap is the latest technology implemented in the new collection of paddles that will allow you to change the grip cord easily and quickly.

Photochromic Paint

Reactive paint in the heart of the paddle that synchronizes with the color of the rubber, offering a harmonious and striking aesthetic.
