NOX Genius 18K 2027: Agustín Tapia's versatile high-performance racket
The NOX Genius 18K 2027 by Agustín Tapia evolves one of the brand's most recognizable moulds with a design focused on improved aerodynamics, balance and all-round performance.
Its teardrop shape provides the versatile geometry at the heart of this model. Rather than adopting the diamond shape and high balance of the Attack version, the Genius 18K is designed to combine control in defensive situations with the ability to generate power when the opportunity to attack appears.
The 18K carbon faces create a solid and precise response, while the MLD Black EVA core adapts to different phases of the point, supporting power on smashes and control in defence.
Its medium feel is complemented by a comprehensive technology package that includes VCS, EOS Tunnel, Dual Spin and Weight Balance.
The result is Agustín Tapia's racket for advanced players looking for a high-performance combination of precision, control, power and adaptability.

Technologies and materials
18K carbon
The faces of the Genius 18K 2027 use 18K carbon, creating a solid sensation at impact and a precise response when directing the ball.
Its role within this model differs slightly from the Genius Attack 18K. Here, the material is combined with a teardrop shape and a more balanced overall configuration, allowing its firm response to support both controlled and attacking phases of play.
MLD Black EVA
The MLD Black EVA core is designed to respond effectively across different shot situations.
When attacking, its construction supports power generation on the smash. During defensive exchanges and lower-speed contacts, it provides the control required to manage the ball with greater precision.
This adaptability is particularly important in the standard Genius 18K, whose identity is built around combining different phases of play rather than specialising exclusively in attack.
Vibration Control System (VCS)
The VCS anti-vibration system manages the vibrations generated during impact.
According to NOX, this new system filters 60% more of the vibrations reaching the arm compared with its predecessor, adding greater vibration management to the racket's high-performance construction.
EOS Tunnel
The updated EOS Tunnel contributes to the aerodynamic evolution of the Genius mould.
Its design is intended to improve airflow and make the racket more efficient as it moves through the swing, complementing the more aerodynamic profile of the 2027 model.
Weight Balance
The Weight Balance system allows players to personalise the racket's balance rather than being limited to its original setup.
This adjustment system gives advanced players greater scope to adapt the Genius 18K to their own preferences and style of play.
Dual Spin
The hitting surface incorporates Dual Spin, which combines 3D texture with silica sand.
The combination is designed to increase interaction with the ball, helping players generate spin while maintaining control over placement.
