Key differences

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.
