The Nox AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum is a diamond-shaped, high-balance racket listed at 360 to 375 g and rated Professional by the brand. On paper it is built for power and gives up control, comfort and sweet spot size to get it. No review exists yet, so this is a reading of the specs, not a court test.
RBy Ruud Caris · facts checked 9 October 2026Choose it if
- you have a long, controlled swing and like a handle with a 30 mm grip extension
- you want a heavy, head-heavy diamond and accept a small sweet spot in return
- you play at Professional level and already keep a racket of 360 to 375 g under control
Skip it if
- you want an easy first racket, where the Nox AT10 Genius Ultralight 26 is the gentler Tapia model
- you want a more even feel from a similar 18K carbon face, which is what the teardrop Nox AT10 Genius 18K Alum is for
- your elbow or shoulder already complains, because a hard core and a stiff face are not kind to it
How it plays
Line = the average of all rackets ▲ above ▼ below
On paper the meters read High for power and Low for control, comfort, maneuverability and sweet spot.
- Control The diamond shape and high balance push control down, so you need a clean, early swing to place the ball.
- Power A hard core, a stiff carbon face, a diamond head and a high balance all add to the power meter, which reads High.
- Comfort The hard core and stiff face leave little cushioning, so expect a firm response on off-centre hits.
- Handling A heavy weight range and a head-heavy diamond make quick hands at the net harder work.
- Forgiveness The sweet spot is small on paper, so you are rewarded for hitting the same spot every time.

The 2026 racket and the 2027 Nox Genius Attack 18K Alum share balance, core, face, frame, shape, thickness, level and the 360 to 375 g range. Two listed items differ. The 2026 handle is an Oversize Grip with a 30 mm grip extension, while the 2027 handle is an Oversize Grip alone. The weight system changes from Weight Balance to a Weight Balancer blister of 2-4g. Those are the only differences in the published specs. A second listing, written in capitals, shows the same weights and the same pro player. Nothing else is published for it, so nothing more can be said. If you want the longer handle, look at the 2026 version.

Take the Nox AT10 Genius 18K Alum, change the head from teardrop to diamond and move the balance from Medium to High: that is the Attack. On paper, that one shape change separates a controlled all-rounder from a racket that asks you to bring your own timing.
There are no reviews for this racket yet. Everything below comes from the published specs and the brand's own claims.
Attack or plain Genius: what the diamond shape and High balance change
The plain AT10 Genius 18K Alum is a teardrop with Medium balance. Its control meter reads Medium. The Attack is a diamond with High balance, and the control meter drops to Low. Power reads High on both.
So the extra weight in the head does not add power that the teardrop lacks. It mostly takes away forgiveness. Not more power, but less margin.
Power 10, control 8, says Nox: the ratings against a Low control meter
A retailer lists Nox's own ratings as Power 10/10 and Control 8/10. Those are the brand's claims, not measurements. The product page says the racket is made for aggressive players who want maximum power without losing precision.
The specs agree on power. They are less friendly to the control claim. A diamond shape and a high balance both lower the control meter, and only the stiff carbon face raises it. An 8 out of 10 from the brand may be fair for a Professional player. For most players, the Low meter is the better guide.
Black EVA under 18K carbon: where High power and Low comfort come from
The core is MLD Black EVA, which the meters treat as hard. A retailer lists the core density as Medium. The face is Carbon 18K Alum, and the frame is carbon. The surface is Dual Spin.
The product page claims the aluminised carbon gives a solid and comfortable feel. The specs point the other way: hard core and stiff face both lower the comfort meter. Nox lists a Pulse System for anti-vibration, which may take some edge off. Still, plan for a firm racket.
360 to 375 g and a 30 mm longer handle: what the heavy head asks of your arm
The weight range is 360 to 375 g. That is heavy, and with High balance the mass sits toward the head. Thickness is 38 mm.
The handle is an Oversize Grip with a 30 mm grip extension. That gives you more room for your hand on the handle. What it does not do is make the racket light. Warm up properly and keep your technique tidy. If your arm tires, a lighter model is the fix, not more grip tape.
2026 or 2027 Attack: a shorter handle and a Weight Balancer blister
The Nox Genius Attack 18K Alum keeps the same face, core, shape, balance and weight range. Two things change. The 30 mm grip extension is gone, and the weight system is now a Weight Balancer blister of 2-4g. Details are in the version notes.
The Attack 12K Alum Xtrem has the same shape, balance, weights and meters. It uses an HR3 Black EVA core and a 12K Xtrem carbon face. The Siux Fenix Pro 4 is a 2024 diamond with High balance, 38 mm thickness and a 355 to 375 g range.
All three share the same meter profile: Low control, High power, Low comfort. Choose on face and core feel, and on whether you want the Tapia link.
No review, no balance in mm, no head size: what you cannot check
Nox lists the balance only as High. The balance in mm is not published. The head size in cm2 is not published either. Without them you cannot compare this racket exactly with rivals. Try it before you commit if you can.

Questions before you buy
What is the difference between the Attack and the plain AT10 Genius 18K Alum?
The Attack is a diamond with High balance. The plain Genius 18K Alum is a teardrop with Medium balance. Control reads Medium on the teardrop and Low on the Attack, while power is High on both.
Is it the same as the Attack 12K Alum Xtrem?
Not quite. Shape, balance, weight range and meters match. This one has a Black EVA core and an 18K Alum face. The 12K Xtrem has an HR3 Black EVA core and a 12K Xtrem face.
Is it a racket for intermediate players?
Nox lists it as Professional. A diamond, high balance and 360 to 375 g ask for good technique and a strong arm. Less experienced players will find it hard to control.
Is it kind to the arm?
On paper, not very. The core is hard, the face is stiff and the racket is heavy, so the comfort meter reads Low. Nox lists a Pulse System for anti-vibration, but no review confirms how it works.
Is the AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 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.

Compare side by side →Who should not buy it?
Skip it if you rely on placement and long rallies (control 3.5/10), or if your elbow or shoulder complains (comfort 1.5/10), or if you are still learning: it is not very forgiving (3.0/10).
How heavy is it really?
The brand gives 360 to 375 g. That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range.
