Genius 18K Alum by Agustín Tapia 2027 Padel Racket

Agustín Tapia's racket. The evolution of the best-known shape – now with a more aerodynamic and better balanced design.

The 18K Alum Carbon face delivers a solid feel and more precise ball output – with consistent performance even when temperatures fluctuate. The MLD Black EVA core combines power on the smash with control in defence, while the new VCS anti-vibration system filters 60% more of the vibrations transmitted to the arm compared with its predecessor.

The Dual Spin finish combines a 3D texture with quartz sand – for more control and easier spin generation.

The teardrop shape and medium hardness are complemented by a more aerodynamically efficient EOS Tunnel and the Weight Balance system, which lets you customise the racket's balance.

A racket for «El Mozart» – and for all advanced players who refuse to give up a single metre of the court.

Technologies

• CARBON 18K ALUM: 18K aluminised carbon – provides solidity and comfort and ensures more consistent performance when temperatures fluctuate.
• MULTILAYERED BLACK EVA: Multi-layer core combining different rubber densities – optimises ball output on slow defensive shots and power on the smash.
• CARBON FRAME: Carbon in the frame gives the frame and the entire racket more stiffness and durability.
• EOS TUNNEL: Side openings integrated into the mould improve aerodynamics, increase manoeuvrability and optimise weight distribution – for a faster, more agile and more precise racket on every shot.
• DUAL SPIN: Combines two advanced surface techniques: a 3D texture and a sandblasted finish. This dual approach significantly expands your shot repertoire and enables every kind of spin. Combining both surfaces maximises spin generation on every shot without compromising the durability of the faces.
• WEIGHT BALANCE: Interchangeable counterweight system that lets you adjust the racket's weight and balance to the player's preferences. Includes 2 g and 4 g weights, easy to attach and compatible with frame protectors.
• PULSE SYSTEM: Reduces the vibrations transmitted to the hand thanks to rubber elements inserted at the sides, running from the frame throat to the butt cap.
• SMART STRAP: The latest technology in the NOX racket collection: the wrist strap can be changed quickly and easily.
• DYNAMIC COMPOSITE STRUCTURE: The frame material extends up to four centimetres into the face. As a result, the difference in hardness between frame and face is no longer noticeable – preventing cracks in the racket's surface.
• CUSTOM GRIP: The entire Luxury series features the patented NOX Custom Grip® technology, certified by Testea Padel for more grip and less vibration.
• OVERSIZE GRIP: Handle extended by 30 mm for players who need a longer grip – whether they play two-handed shots or not.
• VCS: The VCS system consists of a high-performance elastomer bonded to the entire inner surface of the handle. This creates a damping barrier that reduces the transmission of shocks and vibrations during play.
• EXCLUSIVE COVER: Limited units of Agustín Tapia's racket come with an exclusive cover – a tribute to his legendary nickname «The Mozart of Catamarca».
