Control and Power with Agustín Tapia
The NOX Genius 12K Alum XTREM 2027 is a professional all-round padel racket for advanced and competitive players who want to combine precision with power. This updated model from Agustín Tapia's collection features a teardrop shape, a medium-hard feel and a weight of 360–375 grams.
Thanks to the updated 12K Alum XTREM Carbon, the MLD Black EVA core and the adjustable Weight Balance System, this racket offers a combination of control, stability and attacking potential. Ideal for players who want to make a difference both in defence and at the net.
Why Choose the NOX Genius 12K Alum XTREM 2027?
According to NOX, the updated 12K Alum XTREM Carbon reduces the waviness and interweaving of the carbon fibres by 50%. This creates a more uniform and stiffer hitting surface with a direct response. The aluminised finish also helps maintain a more consistent playing feel across temperature changes.
The MLD Black EVA core combines different densities. This provides good ball output and control during defensive shots, while the core delivers sufficient responsiveness at higher swing speeds for powerful attacking shots.
The redesigned mould with EOS Tunnel improves aerodynamics and manoeuvrability. Thanks to the Weight Balance System, you can also adjust the weight and balance to suit your personal playing style.
