NOX AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum (2026)

Editorial assessment · 2026 model

The AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum 2026 suits experienced players who already like a diamond head and weight towards the top of the racket. It uses MLD Black EVA and an aluminised carbon face, with a published 360–375 g range and adjustable weights. We would compare it with the standard AT10 if you want a more attacking setup and can still prepare it on time under pressure.

Best for
Experienced attackers who prefer a high-balance diamond for volleys and overheads.
Main trade-off
The higher-balance design can suit your attacking game while asking more of your preparation during fast exchanges.

Our assessment

Decide between standard AT10 and Attack

Both 2026 models have an 18K Alum face, MLD Black EVA, Dual Spin and a 360–375 g range. NOX gives both an intermediate touch classification. The main buying distinction is the standard model's teardrop, multipurpose design versus Attack's high-balance diamond.

Try Attack across a full rally, including a rushed block and a defensive ball after the glass. If its attacking shots suit you and preparation stays comfortable, it belongs on your shortlist. Keep the standard model if its all-court handling already works for your game.

Consider an alternative if: You are still learning your weight preference, or quick preparation in defence matters more than an attacking setup.

Strengths

  • Its diamond head gives high-balance buyers a distinct option within the 18K Alum pair.
  • Weight Balance provides 2 g and 4 g adjustment pieces.
  • The extended handle gives more room for players who prefer extra grip space.

Drawbacks

  • High balance and a racket towards the top of the weight range can make repeated preparation demanding.
  • The attacking design is a poor reason to switch if you already like the standard AT10's handling.

FAQ

Is AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum NOX's hardest racket?
No. NOX classifies this model's touch as intermediate, so “hardest” is an inaccurate description. The Attack name refers to its attacking design, including a diamond head and high balance. The standard 18K Alum shares the same touch classification, although its different shape and setup can change the overall feel.
Should I upgrade from the standard AT10 to Attack?
Only if you want the diamond shape and higher-balance setup. Attack is not an automatic upgrade: both models share the main face, core and weight-adjustment features. Stay with the standard AT10 if you like its handling. Compare Attack when you have a specific reason to change how the racket swings.
