On paper the hard Black EVA core and 12K carbon face push power up, while comfort and manoeuvrability drop. Padelvergleich, which played it, rates it positively on power, comfort and control. Balance in millimetres is not published.

This 2025 racket keeps Medium balance but switches to plain Black EVA, alongside a reworded frame description. Shape, face, level and pro player stayed identical across all three. None of the three versions publish a balance point in millimetres, so you cannot compare them on that number. If you want the version covered here, look at this 2025 racket or its direct predecessor. A 2026 successor exists too, but it lists a different face and a Professional level. That points to a separate model, not a simple update. ## Price history Today **€ 179.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 179.95** vs 30-day average **0%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. ## What reviewers say Padelvergleich played it and rated power, comfort, control, durability and sweet spot all positive, pointing to good handling and a forgiving sweet spot. It singles out handling as a strength, even though the specs alone point to low manoeuvrability. That suggests the racket plays lighter than its weight class implies, at least in that one review. Its catch: you need solid technique to get the racket's full power out of it. [**Padelvergleich** “Er ist ideal für fortgeschrittene Spieler, die einen Allround-Schläger suchen.” Review in German · Read the full review →](https://padelvergleich.de/tests/padelschlaeger/nox/at10-genius-12k-2025) [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) has sold an AT10 Genius 12K under Agustín Tapia's name three years running, and each year the core label changes a little. The shape stays teardrop, the face stays 12K carbon, and the weight sits between 360 and 375 g. What moves is the core. ## From MLD Black EVA to Black EVA: what actually changed The 2024 version ran an MLD Black EVA core. The 2025 racket you're looking at now lists a plain Black EVA core instead. The frame description also changed wording, from Carbon to a longer phrase describing a tubular carbon frame. Shape, face, level and pro player stayed the same across both years. That is a label change, not proof of a redesign. Whether the hit actually feels different between the two years is not something the numbers can tell you. Go back one more year, to the 2023 racket, and the core was HR3 with a High balance label, against Medium now. The line has moved from HR3, to MLD Black EVA, to Black EVA in three seasons. Meanwhile the balance label dropped from High to Medium and stayed there. ## Medium balance, no millimetres: reading between the labels Shops list the balance as Medium. No version of this racket, including this one, publishes a balance point in millimetres. That is a real gap if you are comparing rackets closely, because two rackets can share a Medium label and still swing differently. Take the label as a rough steer, not a precise number. If exact balance matters to you, treat that as an open question rather than something these figures answer. ## Teardrop, hard core, heavy weight: the power recipe Put the specs together and the picture is consistent. A hard Black EVA core, a 12K carbon face and a [teardrop shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), at 360 to 375 g, add up to high power on paper. The rough surface should help you brush the ball for spin. The trade-off shows up in comfort and manoeuvrability, both rated low, and in a sweet spot that the hard core shrinks. The teardrop shape and positive reviews claw some of that back. Still, this reads as a racket for players who already generate their own power. It wants the frame to add to that power, not soften it. The AT10 family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Genius 12K** [**Genius 18K Alum By Agustín Tapia**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-18k-alum-by-agustin-tapia-2025/) [**Luxury GENIUS 18K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-luxury-genius-18k-alum-2025/) [**Luxury GENIUS 12K**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-luxury-genius-12k-2025/) ## What the one court review found Padelvergleich played it and rated power, comfort, control and sweet spot positively. It also flags handling as a strength, even though the weight class alone would suggest low manoeuvrability. That suggests the racket plays lighter than its weight class implies. The catch: Padelvergleich says you need solid technique to get the racket's full power out of it. ## Genius 12K, Luxury Genius, or the 2026 Alum Xtrem Nox sells more than one Genius 12K this year. The [Nox AT10 Luxury GENIUS 12K 2025](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-luxury-genius-12k-2025/) shares the weight and shape. It lists an MLD Black EVA core, though, and a wider Intermediate/Advanced level, not Advanced only. The [Nox AT10 Genius 12K Agustín Tapia 2024](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-agustin-tapia-2024/) is the direct predecessor, with the older core label. A [Nox AT10 Genius 12K Alum XTREM 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-alum-xtrem-2026/) is listed as a successor too, but it comes with a different face and a Professional level. That jump in level suggests a separate model, not a straight upgrade of this one.

It also opens up to an Intermediate/Advanced level. This racket lists Black EVA instead, and stays Advanced only. **What level of player is this racket for?** Shops list it as Advanced. Padelvergleich says you need solid technique to get the racket's full power out of it. **Is this racket comfortable to play with for a long session?** On paper, comfort is rated low, driven by the hard core and heavier weight class. Padelvergleich rated comfort positively in its own review, so opinions differ here. **Is the AT10 Genius 12K worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours.

That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
