Editorial assessment · 2024 model
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2024 is a teardrop racket with a medium balance and a multilayer MLD Black EVA core. We favour it for players who build points across the whole court and want a middle-ground feel. It is the standard AT10, with a different handling brief from the diamond-shaped Attack.

We would shortlist the 2024 18K Alum for a player who wants to keep a familiar rhythm in defence while stepping forward to volley. The central question is whether its medium response gives you enough feedback on a short block and enough firmness when you accelerate.
The 360–375 g range is wide enough to matter. Ask for the actual unit weight and account for your usual grips. Buying the same model name does not guarantee the same finished weight.
The 2024 face uses a sandy finish. Later AT10 generations have different surface treatments and adjustment systems, so a newer model should be compared on those details. We would keep a sound 2024 racket if its response still suits your game; changing the model year alone is a weak reason to replace it. If your main goal is more overhead power, compare timing and clean contact before moving to the higher-balance Attack.
Consider an alternative if: You want the firmest contact or deliberately prefer a high-balance diamond.
Nox
The teardrop AT10 for experienced players who want an all-court option. The 2026 18K Alum uses MLD Black EVA, a Dual Spin face and adjustable weights, with a published 360–375 g range. Compare it with the diamond-shaped Attack before choosing the more attacking setup.
Nox
The NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum Buenos Aires 2025 combines the Argentine edition design with a teardrop shape, MLD Black EVA and Exclusive Spin texture. We see it as an all-court option for players who already like the AT10 response and want this particular edition.
