[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer This is the diamond-shaped Attack version of Agustín Tapia's 2026 Nox line, listed at 360 to 375 g with a high balance. On paper it is a Professional racket built for power, with low control, low maneuverability and a small sweet spot. No reviews exist yet. Not a first racket, and a demanding one for any arm. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you already play a heavy, head-heavy diamond and want that same attacking profile from Nox - you finish points overhead and at the net, and accept that you must hit the ball cleanly - you like to tune your racket and want a counterweight system plus a longer grip extension Skip it if - you want a forgiving racket: the teardrop Nox AT10 Genius 12K Alum XTREM has Medium control on the same face and core - you are still learning technique and need an easy racket, where the Nox AT10 Genius Ultralight 26 is rated for beginners and intermediates - you want a similar diamond with a different core: the Siux Fenix Pro 4 has an EVA Hard rubber core and the same High balance ## How it plays 7.7 **padell.io score 7.7** Play 8.4 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

Do not read it as a version story. The real comparison is with the 2027 successor, the Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM. Face, frame, shape, balance label, level and weight range are the same. The core changes from HR3 Black EVA to MLD Black EVA. The handle loses the 30 mm grip extension wording, and the weight system is described as allowing up to 8 g. Those are changes in the listings. How they play is unknown. If the grip extension matters to you, look at this 2026 racket. ## Price history Today **€ 189.99** Lowest in 30 days **€ 179.95** vs 30-day average **-3%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market.

So this page reads what the specs say, and says plainly where they are silent. ## Diamond or teardrop: the two changes that turn Control from Medium to Low Put it next to the teardrop [Nox AT10 Genius 12K Alum XTREM](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-alum-xtrem-2026/). The face is the same Carbon 12K Alum Xtrem. The core is the same HR3 Black EVA. Thickness is 38 mm on both, and the [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) is 360 to 375 g on both. Two things differ. The head is a diamond here, and the balance is High instead of Medium. Those two changes take control from Medium to Low. Not a different material, but a different geometry. On court, a diamond keeps the mass toward the top of the head. A high balance adds to that. You get more punch on overheads and smashes. You also get a racket that is slower to turn and less forgiving when the ball lands off-centre. The AT10 family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM by Agustín Tapia** [**Genius Attack 18K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-attack-18k-alum-2026/) [**Genius 12K Alum XTREM**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-alum-xtrem-2026/) [**Genius 18K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-18k-alum-2026/) [**Luxury Genius 18K Alum**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-luxury-genius-18k-alum-2026/) [**Genius 12K Alum XTREM Lite by Agustín Tapia**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-12k-alum-xtrem-lite-2026-by-agustin-tapia/) [**Luxury Genius 12K Alum Xtrem LITE**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-luxury-genius-12k-alum-xtrem-lite-2026/) [**Pro Cup Hard**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-pro-cup-hard/) [**Pro Cup Soft by Agustín Tapia**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-pro-cup-soft-by-agustin-tapia/) ## Tapia's name on a Professional racket: what the label asks of you [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) lists the level as Professional and names Agustín Tapia as the pro player. Treat that as a hint about the demands, not a promise of results. A racket this heavy and head-heavy rewards solid technique and a fit arm. If you are an intermediate player moving up, ask yourself two things. Is your swing already compact? Is your contact point consistent? If not, the teardrop sibling is the gentler way into the same line. ## HR3 Black EVA and a stiff carbon face: where the High power reading comes from The meters rate power as High, and the drivers are easy to list. The HR3 Black EVA core is read as hard. The Carbon 12K Alum Xtrem face is read as stiff. The [diamond shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/), the weight and the high balance all push the same way. The product page says the racket was developed with Tapia for aggressive players who want maximum power and a solid, firm feel. That is marketing, but it fits what the meters show: High power, Low everything else. The page also claims the core has the highest memory effect and that the carbon gives a finer, more uniform surface. Those are the brand's claims, not measurements. Nox lists the surface as Dual Spin. What that texture involves is not spelled out in the specs, so treat any spin claims with care. The same hard core and stiff face also lower comfort and sweet spot. Power has a downside. If your elbow or shoulder already complains, a racket with this profile is a risk. You can limit that risk. Pick the lower end of the weight range where you have the choice. Also try a few sessions of light hitting before you play matches with it. ## A 30 mm grip extension and a counterweight kit The handle is listed as an Oversize Grip with a 30 mm grip extension. The product page says that suits large hands or players who like a longer grip. Nox lists a Weight Balance counterweight system for personalising the balance. The product page says it works with small interchangeable pieces. That gives you some room to shift the balance of a racket that is already head-heavy. It is the one lever you control after buying. ## Attack 2026 or Attack 2027: a core swap and a new weight system The successor, the [Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/genius-attack-12k-alum-xtrem/), keeps the face, frame, shape, balance label, level and weight range. Three things change. The core becomes MLD Black EVA. The handle is listed as a plain Oversize Grip. The weight system is described as allowing up to 8 g. Whether the new core plays differently is not something the specs can tell you. If you want a diamond with a different face, look at the [Nox AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-genius-attack-18k-alum-2026/). It has Carbon 18K Alum and an MLD Black EVA core, and the same meters. Nox does not publish the balance in millimetres or the head area. You have the label High and nothing finer. That makes it hard to compare against, for instance, the [Siux Fenix Pro 4](https://padell.io/rackets/siux/fenix-pro-4/), which is also labelled High with 38 mm thickness. Treat the label as a direction, not a number.

This one is a diamond with High balance. Face, core, thickness and weight range match. **Is it suitable for intermediate players?** Nox lists it as Professional, and the meters show Low control and a Low sweet spot. An intermediate with good technique could handle it, but the teardrop sibling is easier. **Will it be hard on the arm?** On paper, likely firm. The core is hard, the face is stiff and the racket is 360 to 375 g with high balance. The product page mentions side rubbers to reduce vibration, but that is a brand claim. **How does it differ from the 2027 Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM?** The core changes from HR3 to MLD Black EVA, and the handle and weight-system wording change. Shape, face, balance label and weight range stay the same. **Is the AT10 Genius Attack 12K Alum XTREM 2026 by Agustín Tapia 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. See all prices **What is the closest alternative?** The Nox AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 plays most alike. On paper the differences are under one point. Today: € 176.98.

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