Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum Xtrem 2027 racket

The Nox Genius Attack 12K Alum Xtrem 2027, a mould reworked for attack

The attacking version of Agustín Tapia's Genius line, Nox's Genius Attack 12K Alum Xtrem 2027 evolves its mould to improve aerodynamics and control of the swing. Its diamond shape and high balance are designed for an attacking game, with maximum power on the smash without sacrificing control.

Who is this racket for?

Professional or expert padel players with an attacking style. Medium-hard feel, 360 to 375 g, high balance and an Oversize Grip extended by 30 mm: the combination maximises head inertia, which demands a fast swing and good fitness. The counterweight system lets you fine-tune the balance to your profile.

Technologies explained

• Carbon 12K Alum Xtrem: a rectangular weave that reduces fibre waviness and crimp by 50%, for a thinner, stiffer surface; the aluminised finish keeps performance consistent despite temperature changes.
• Multilayered Black EVA: a multilayer core with varying densities, for smash power and control at low speed.
• Oversize Grip: a 30 mm handle extension that makes two-handed shots easier and shifts the balance towards the head.
• VCS: a high-performance elastomer bonded inside the handle, reducing wrist impact by up to 56% compared with the previous version. Backed up by the Pulse System and the Custom Grip.
• Dual Spin, Weight Balance, EOS Tunnel and Dynamic Composite Structure: textured faces to maximise spin, up to 8 g of counterweights, side perforations for aerodynamics and a frame reinforced up to 4 cm into the face.

The Extreme Tennis team's verdict

The Genius Attack is the most radical Genius: every element, from the shape to the extended handle, pushes towards power. It is for the minority of players able to exploit its inertia. For a more complete game on the same base, the Genius 12K Alum Xtrem 2027 is more versatile.
