NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum (2024)

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.

Best for
Intermediate and advanced players who mix controlled defence with a varied attack.
Main trade-off
Versatile handling gives up the more concentrated attacking bias of the Attack range.

Our assessment

A useful all-court choice

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.

Compare the generation carefully

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.

Strengths

  • Medium balance suits a varied game.
  • 18K Alum and MLD foam provide a middle-ground response.
  • Replaceable Smartstrap and an extended grip.

Drawbacks

  • The weight range makes the individual unit important.
  • Less attacking bias than the diamond Attack.
