NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Buenos Aires Exclusive Edition 2026

The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Buenos Aires Exclusive Edition 2026 is a teardrop Padel Racket aimed at advanced and professional players who want one frame that can attack and defend in the same rally. The teardrop head keeps the sweet spot usefully high without narrowing it to a single point of contact, which is why NOX describes the playing style as versatile.

NOX based this exclusive edition on Agustín Tapia's racket for the 2026 season, marking the Buenos Aires Premier Padel P1 and his three years as world number one. So the frame in your hand follows that 2026 blueprint, finished in a livery made for this release.

Inside the face sits an MLD Black EVA core, which NOX rates as an intermediate touch. It is firm enough to send the ball through the court on a committed swing, and soft enough that you are not fighting the racket on a drop or a low volley. The result is a balanced feel rather than a specialist one.

The hitting surface is an 18K aluminised carbon-fibre face on a 100% carbon frame, a stiff combination that returns energy quickly on smashes and hard drives. The Dynamic Composite Structure reinforces the transition between frame and face, the EOS Tunnel works on aerodynamics and manoeuvrability, and the Pulse System adds side rubber pads that reduce the vibration passed on to your arm.

At 360 to 375 g with a 38 mm profile this is a full-weight frame, and the Weight Balance system lets you adjust the balance point to suit your swing. Dual Spin combines a 3D relief with a silica-sand finish for grip on the ball, Chromic Paint gives the edition its reactive finish, and the NOX Custom Grip, Oversize Grip and SmartStrap complete the handle.

So if you play at an advanced or professional level and want a racket that can hold a rally and then finish it, the NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Buenos Aires Exclusive Edition 2026 is well worth your attention: a full-weight teardrop with an adjustable balance and a finish made only for this edition.
