What makes the NOX AT10 Genius 18K alum racket so special?

The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Racket is equipped with advanced technologies that deliver top-tier performance. This racket is ideal for players who want to combine both power and control without sacrificing spin. Let’s dive into the key features of this racket.

1. 18K Carbon Alum: power and durability

The racket is made from 18K carbon alum, a combination of carbon and aluminum that ensures powerful performance and long-lasting durability. The carbon layer provides stiffness, while the aluminum effect improves temperature stability, ensuring that your racket performs optimally in various conditions. This makes it perfect for year-round play, no matter the weather.

2. Dual Density Core: power and control

One of the standout features of the AT10 Genius 18K Alum Racket is the dual density core. This means the racket has two different densities on the front and back. The harder side offers powerful smashes, while the softer side ensures more control. This makes the racket ideal for both offensive and defensive players, offering the perfect balance for those who need both powerful shots and precision.

3. 3D Spin Texture: More spin and control

The AT10 Genius 18K Alum Racket features a 3D spin texture on the racket face. This unique rough finish enhances grip on the ball, allowing you to generate more spin. Whether you're playing topspin or slice, the extra grip helps you make your shots more accurate and effective, making it ideal for players who like to mix up their game with varied spin.

4. Improved grip and vibration reduction

The NOX Custom Grip® technology reduces vibrations and provides a comfortable grip. The racket is also equipped with an octagonal grip, which enhances control and stability regardless of your hand position. This makes the racket perfect for long matches without causing hand fatigue.

5. Lightweight and durable

The racket weighs between 350-365 grams, making it both light and stable. This provides quick response times and greater control during play. Thanks to its durable materials, the racket remains in top form even with frequent use.
