NOX AT10 Genius 18K Alum (2026)

Editorial assessment · 2026 model

The AT10 Genius 18K Alum 2026 is the teardrop model in this pair. It combines an aluminised carbon face with MLD Black EVA, and NOX classifies its touch as intermediate. The published weight is 360–375 g, with optional pieces to adjust the setup. We would start here for an experienced player who wants the same racket for defending, building points and taking an attacking chance.

Best for
Experienced players who want an all-court racket and a choice of weight setup.
Main trade-off
It offers a more versatile starting point than Attack, but still has a full weight range and requires a suitable setup.

Our assessment

What the handling evidence adds

Padelshop's assessment favoured quick handling over maximum smash power. Its published measurements came from a 367 g example. That supports putting the standard AT10 on a trial list for an all-court game; it does not establish how every weight configuration will feel.

Start with the stock setup and try blocks, lobs and repeated volleys alongside your overheads. Then change one weight piece at a time if you want a different swing, and keep the setup that still works in defence.

Consider an alternative if: You specifically prefer a high-balance diamond or need a racket below 360 g.

Strengths

  • The teardrop shape offers an alternative to Attack's diamond within the same 18K Alum pair.
  • The Weight Balance system allows adjustment with 2 g and 4 g pieces.
  • Dual Spin combines raised texture and silica sand on the face.

Drawbacks

  • A racket near the 375 g end can become substantial once grips and adjustment pieces are added.
  • Players who specifically want a high-balance attacking setup may prefer Attack.

FAQ

Is the standard AT10 Genius 18K Alum a diamond racket?
No. The 2026 standard model is teardrop-shaped and NOX describes it as multipurpose. Attack is the diamond-shaped, high-balance model in the pair. Both share the 18K Alum face, MLD Black EVA core and 360–375 g published range.
What does the Weight Balance system do?
It lets you change the racket's weight and balance using 2 g and 4 g pieces. Start without optional additions, then try a change if you want a different feel in the swing. Added weight counts towards what you have to move on every shot, so keep the setup that works for defence as well as attack.
