NOX Genius Attack 18K Alum Agustín Tapia 2027 [PRE-ORDER]

PRE-ORDER: This product is available for pre-order and will be shipped starting October 19. Please note that orders containing this item will not be dispatched before this date.

The NOX Genius Attack 18K Alum 2027 is the attacking version of Agustín Tapia's Genius line. A diamond-shaped padel racket with high balance and a firmer soft core than the standard Genius, built to deliver maximum power on smashes. The 18K aluminized carbon face gives a consistent solid response across temperature changes and the Weight Balance system lets you tune the balance further towards the head for even more attacking bite.

Who suits this racket

Well suited to: professional players: advanced players who attack the ball and finish points with smashes and viboras. The diamond shape and high balance reward clean technique with maximum power.

Less suited to: players still working on their technique (the small sweetspot is less forgiving), players who prefer a central sweetspot (a hybrid or round suits better) and players with a sensitive elbow. For a sensitive elbow see our selection for padel elbow.

How does this racket play?

The sweetspot of a diamond shape sits high on the face. On our measurement this racket has hardness 63 and swingweight 153. What that means on court: a demanding attacking racket that rewards clean technique with maximum power.

The technology: what do you notice?

• 18K Aluminized Carbon (the face): 18K carbon with an aluminium finish. What you notice: solid direct response and consistent performance across temperature changes.
• MLD Black EVA (the core): multi-layered EVA rubber with different densities inside. What you notice: firmer response on hard shots for maximum ball speed while retaining comfort on slower shots.
• Dual Spin (the surface): combines a 3D texture with a sandblasted finish across the full face. What you notice: extra spin on bandeja, vibora and slice.
• Weight Balance: interchangeable 2 gram and 4 gram counterweights that sit in the handle, adjustable without tools up to 8 grams total. Add weight for a more head-heavy attacking feel or leave it off for maximum maneuverability.
• EOS Tunnel: lateral perforations in the frame that improve airflow through the head. What you notice: the racket moves easily through the swing despite its professional-level build.
• Oversize Grip: 30 millimetres of extra handle length. Useful for two-handed backhands and shifts more mass towards the head for extra inertia.
• VCS (Vibration Control System): a high-performance elastomer inside the handle that absorbs impact. NOX claims a 60% reduction in vibration compared to their previous system. What you notice: less shock through the wrist and elbow especially on off-center shots.
• Pulse System: lateral rubber inserts in the frame that further reduce vibrations transmitted to the hand.
• Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS): the frame material extends into the face area which prevents surface cracking at the frame-face junction and creates a more uniform feel across the hitting surface.
• Custom Grip®: NOX's patented grip technology certified by Testea Padel. Better hold and reduced vibration transmission.
• Smart Strap: quick-release safety strap. Hygienic and adjustable to personal preference.
• Carbon Frame: full carbon frame construction that provides rigidity and durability across the entire racket.
