Description
Nox's Genius 12K Alum Xtrem 2027, the control benchmark of Tapia's range
With the Genius 12K Alum Xtrem 2027, Nox refines the mould of Agustín Tapia's racket: teardrop shape, neutral-low balance and 12K Alum Xtrem carbon faces with a medium-hard feel. Nox presents it as the all-round, central model of the range. Our X-Compare measurements pull it more clearly towards control: it is the Genius with the best control score, with decent power and excellent spin.
Who is it for?
Expert-level padel players who want to place the ball to the centimetre and vary their spin. The neutral-low balance keeps it quick in the hand, and power remains sufficient to finish when the chance arises. Forgiveness and comfort are average: it takes a consistent stroke to get the best out of it. Weight 360 to 375 g, adjustable with counterweights.
The technologies explained
- Carbon 12K Alum Xtrem: a rectangular weave that reduces fibre undulation by 50% compared with conventional carbon, for a thinner, stiffer surface. The aluminised finish keeps performance consistent across temperature changes.
- Multilayered Black EVA: a multi-layer core with varying densities, for power on the smash and control at low speed.
- VCS: a high-performance elastomer bonded inside the handle to filter vibrations, completed by the Pulse System and Custom Grip.
- Weight Balance and Oversize Grip: interchangeable 2 g and 4 g counterweights, up to 8 g, and a 30 mm handle extension.
- Dual Spin, EOS Tunnel and Dynamic Composite Structure: textured faces for spin, aerodynamic side holes and a frame reinforced up to 4 cm into the face.
The Extreme Tennis team's verdict
More than a middle-of-the-range racket, this is the Genius for precise players. If you want more ease, the Genius 18K Alum 2027 is more manoeuvrable, forgiving and comfortable, with only slightly less control. For more power in a teardrop, the Genius 12K Alum Xtrem Lite 2027 hits a little harder, and the Genius Attack 12K Alum Xtrem 2027 switches to a diamond for a clearly attacking game.
