AT10 LUXURY GENIUS: COMPARISON OF AGUSTIN TAPIA'S NEW RACKETS FOR 2025
Agustin Tapia's AT10 series for the 2024-25 season comes with four models designed to suit any style of play. This new collection of blades not only maintains the essence of the racket that led the Mozart of Catamarca to become the number 1, but now incorporates more attacking options for players who have a more aggressive profile on the court.
We keep the formula for success
Considering the good acceptance we had with the 2024 Luxury range, we have opted to maintain the strengths for this season: the latest in molds, materials and technologies, such as the EOS Flap side perforations for improved handling and weight distribution. It also highlights a more aerodynamic design of the profiles and the lengthening of the grip with 1 additional centimeter to facilitate the grip of the racket with two hands, innovations that together provide more balance and speed when executing the blows.
In terms of materials, the perfect combination of carbon fiber and the multilayer MLD Black Eva core has been achieved, which offers great comfort when hitting with a solid feel and an intermediate-high hardness. On the other hand, the new grip features the Pulse System technology to absorb vibrations, along with the NOX Custom Grip®, a pioneering technology patented by NOX and certified by Testea Padel that increases grip by 52% and reduces vibrations transmitted to the hand by 29%. In addition, it incorporates the Smartstrap system ®, a replaceable safety cord implemented to provide greater strength and customization to the blades.
Main improvements over its predecessors
Technological innovations: EXCLUSIVE SPIN and octagonal cap.
One of the great innovations of the AT10 2024-25 series is the incorporation of the EXCLUSIVE SPIN, a double roughening on the surface of the blades that allows optimizing the effects in each stroke: 3D hexagonal located in the center, which guarantees greater durability, and silicon sand finish on the rest of the blade.
In addition, a new octagonal cap has been added, which facilitates the grip and gives a greater sense of security when playing, making it impossible for the racket to slip!
Design and aesthetics: Refinement and sobriety
One of the first differences that stand out between the blades of the previous collection and those of this new AT10 2024-25 series is the design. Last year, the blades stood out for their modern aesthetics, but this time, Nox has opted for darker and more elegant tones, with combinations of black, copper, navy blue and silver details. This minimalist approach not only gives a more sophisticated touch to the racquet, but also brings a premium image to the collection.
One more racquet for attacking players
At the request of players who clearly identify with a more offensive style of play, this season we have gone a step further by designing the AT10 Genius Attack 12K by Agustin Tapia. To discover all the details about this racquet, as well as the main differences with respect to the AT10 Genius Attack 18K Alum model , keep reading!
Four blades and one goal: to redefine paddle tennis
Below, we offer you a summary table that lists the entire range taking into account various parameters. The paddle blades have been ordered according to stiffness, with 100% being the maximum degree of stiffness of our collection of blades. 50% would correspond to an intermediate touch and 0% to the softest possible touch.
One more year we have accepted the challenge of designing a racket worthy of the number 1 to accompany him throughout the season. The AT10 Luxury GENIUS 18K Alum has a hybrid format that fuses the best of the teardrop and round shape, offering great versatility in the game: aggressiveness at the net and outstanding control on groundstrokes, perfect for players with an all-round style.
What really distinguishes this racket is its construction in aluminized carbon. What makes this material special? Unlike traditional carbon, it has the ability to absorb less solar radiation, maintaining the racquet's characteristics even under extreme heat conditions. This is a key point if you play in hot climates. In addition, the feel of this carbon is slightly more flexible than the usual 18K carbon, providing a softer feel on every stroke.

Want the Mozart blade but looking for a stiffer feel?
Go to AT10 Genius 12K will give you extra control, perfect for players who prioritize firmness in their game and have the physical condition to handle stiffer paddles without complications. In addition to the increased control, it will also allow you to speed up the ball by reducing the time it remains in contact with the surface of the racquet during the stroke.

And for those who have a more aggressive game...
The AT Luxury ATTACK 18K Alum is your perfect ally. Designed specifically for those who enjoy offensive play, this racquet combines stiffness with a diamond design that maximizes power on every shot.
Despite sharing the same stiffness as the 18K Alum, the Attack 18K Alum's diamond shape and high balance make it ideal for those who prioritize power without compromising precision. The geometry of this racquet provides optimal energy transfer, allowing you to execute devastating shots from anywhere on the court. In addition, its aluminized carbon structure not only ensures superior durability, but also reduces racquet fatigue, guaranteeing consistent performance in every match.
