By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 16 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an advanced player who wants a heavy, powerful teardrop racket - you want a heavy teardrop racket and your arm handles stiff, hard-cored frames well - you follow Tapia's line and want to compare the 2024 changes with the 2023 racket Skip it if - you are still building consistent contact, as the hard core gives little back on off-centre hits - you have a sensitive elbow or shoulder and need a comfortable, forgiving frame - you need a quick, light racket for fast exchanges at the net, where the Nox AT10 Genius 12K Agustín Tapia 2024 has a maneuverability meter of Medium ## How it plays 7.6 **padell.io score 7.6** Play 8.3 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Four entries changed. The core goes from EVA to Multilayer MLD Black EVA. The face goes from 18K carbon to Aluminized Carbon 18K. The frame goes from Carbon to 100% carbon. The handle goes from a logo grip to the Nox Custom Grip. Core and face may be real material changes. Frame and handle may be wording, and the sheet does not settle it. Shape, balance label, level, surface and pro player are the same. Thickness is not published for this version, though the 2023 version lists 38 mm. Weight is not listed for the 2023 version, so no weight change can be confirmed. If you want a Medium sweet spot meter, the 2025 Alum is the newer model to check. ## Price history Today **€ 179.95** Lowest in 30 days **€ 159.95** vs 30-day average **+4%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. 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](https://padell.io/brands/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. The AT10 family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Genius 18K Agustín Tapia** [**Genius 12K Agustín Tapia**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-agustin-tapia-2024/) ## 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](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-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](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-18k-by-agustin-tapia-23/) 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](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) 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](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-18k-alum-by-agustin-tapia-2025/) 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.

Core and face describe different materials, while frame and handle may only be new wording. Shape, balance and level stay the same. **Is it a good racket for an intermediate player?** It is listed for advanced players. The hard core, heavy weight and Low sweet spot and comfort meters suggest it asks a lot of you. The 2025 Alum reads Medium on the sweet spot meter, but it is also listed for advanced players. **Will it be hard on the arm?** On paper, comfort reads Low because of the hard core, stiff face and weight. A retailer lists Pulse System anti-vibration, but no review has tested its effect. If you have elbow trouble, be careful. **How does it differ from the 12K 2024 Tapia?** The 12K sibling 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. **Is the AT10 Genius 18K Agustín Tapia 2024 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Good value" compared with the rackets that play most alike.

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