Nox AT10 Genius 18K Agustín Tapia 2024

Four listed specs separate the 2024 Tapia 18K from the 2023 racket before it. Core and face may be real material changes. Frame and handle may be wording changes. This page goes through them, because no review has tested this racket yet. Everything below comes from the spec sheet, and it says so where the sheet runs out.

Core and face may be real changes, frame and handle may be wording

The 2023 racket lists an EVA core. This one lists Multilayer MLD Black EVA. The face moves from 18K carbon to Aluminized Carbon 18K. Those two entries describe different materials, so they could change how the racket behaves. The meters read the new core as hard.

The frame goes from "Carbon" to "100% carbon". The handle goes from a grip with Nox logos to the Nox Custom Grip. The sheet does not show whether the frame and handle actually changed, or whether only the wording did.

Teardrop, medium balance, 360 to 375 g: what stayed the same as the 2023 racket

Shape, balance label, level and surface are unchanged. It is still a teardrop with a medium balance, listed for advanced players with a rough surface. The pro player is still Agustín Tapia.

The weight range is 360 to 375 g. That is heavy. A heavy racket can feel demanding in long matches and in fast exchanges. A medium balance helps a little, but it does not make the racket light in the hand. The 2023 weight is not listed here, so you cannot say whether the weight changed.

If you liked the 2023 model, the shared shape and balance suggest a familiar layout. The 2023 racket is the one to compare against directly.

A hard core and a Low sweet spot meter, while the 2025 Alum reads Medium

The sweet spot meter reads Low here. Two things drive it. The hard core lowers it, and the teardrop shape raises it. The core wins. On paper, that means the racket rewards clean contact and gives less back when you miss.

The 2025 Alum version shares the Multilayer MLD Black EVA core, the weight range and the teardrop shape. Its sweet spot meter reads Medium. Its face is listed as Carbon Alum 18K. The sheet does not say why the meter differs, so do not read it as a proven gain. It is a signal worth checking if forgiveness matters to you.

What Nox claims about DCS and Pulse System, and what the sheet can back

The product page claims that DCS reinforces the join between frame and hitting surface, and that the racket forgives slightly off-centre shots. It also says Pulse System inserts absorb vibration. A retailer lists Pulse System as the anti-vibration feature, so that part is on the sheet.

The forgiveness claim is harder to square with the meters. The core is hard and comfort reads Low. There are no reviews, so the vibration claim is untested too. Take both as the brand's view.

Next to the 2025 Alum, the 12K 2024 and the 2026 XTREM

The same-year 12K model has a 12K carbon face and an MLD Black EVA core. Its meters match this racket except for maneuverability, which reads Medium instead of Low. If you want the Tapia name with a bit less drag in the hand, look there.

The 2025 Alum differs on sweet spot, as above. The 2026 12K Alum XTREM is listed at Professional level, one step above this racket.

No reviews, no head size, no thickness: what the sheet cannot settle

No review has been found for this racket. The five meters are computed from the specs, not from play. Balance in millimetres, head area, thickness and weight system are not published. The 2023 and 2025 versions list 38 mm thickness, but this one does not, so do not assume it.

That leaves real gaps. How stiff the racket feels, how much the aluminized face adds, and how it treats your arm are all open questions. Until reviews arrive, try it before you commit.
