Ratings, shape, weight, balance, feel and prices side by side — and which one suits your game.
Worth upgrading? The 2026 Luxury Genius 18K is now discounted in many shops, while the 2027 model is just arriving.
In short: on Padelful's ratings these two are very close — choose on shape, weight and feel.
Both are teardrop rackets, so the differences come from balance, core and faces rather than the outline.
Feel: medium for the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2026 Agustin Tapia, medium-hard for the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 18K Alum 2027 Agustin Tapia. Softer cores give easier depth at low speed and more comfort; harder cores reward fast swings with precision.
Faces: 18K aluminum carbon fiber versus Carbon Fiber 18K Alum.
