Full review of Agustín Tapia's new racket

New features of the 2022 version

Agustín Tapia's new racket arrives with a completely renewed design, with an updated color combination. However, that is not the big news, as it does not influence its performance. The big news of the 2022 edition of the AT10 Genius is the new 18K Carbon fiber on the faces, replacing the 12K fiber of the previous version. This causes a change in the playability of the racket, which we will explain a little later.

This cord can be replaced without having to manipulate the base of the racket's grip. Finally, Tapia's new racket was created under the supervision of Testea Pádel, a laboratory that certifies it against frame or face breakages. With this, we know that we are facing a premium quality racket.

Playing style and recommended level

Tapia's racket has not lost its characteristic essence. It continues to be a versatile racket to find a balance between control and power. What a player wants is to have the possibility to attack, but also to defend. The racket stands out for its powerful smashes, but also for its precision and repositioning shots. That is why it still has the same inverted teardrop shape, which perfectly balances the weight between the head and the grip.As for the playing level, the AT10 Genius 18K belongs to the Luxury range, which is the highest. The racket was designed to be in the hands of advanced and professional players. This is another feature of the racket that has not changed.

Main characteristics of the frame and faces

Now, going into the technical details of the racket, we will start with the frame and faces. The frame is made entirely of carbon, the most resistant material used in professional rackets. This frame guarantees the firmness of the structure, as well as more resistance and a more aggressive performance.

This new fiber is stiffer than the 12K fiber of the previous version. This means that the player will experience a more solid feel when hitting the ball, which will translate into more power. Thanks to this change, Agustín Tapia's new racket will have a performance closer to total offense.

The inside of the racket

The interior of the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 18K is very relevant for playability. This core is made of HR3, a rubber that is already well-known to Nox fans. It is a high-density rubber, meaning it is a bit harder than other rubbers like Eva Soft or Eva Ultra Soft. With this hardness, the player will be able to hit with more power, as high density helps favor aggressive performance. Faces[/caption]

Technologies of Agustín Tapia's new racket

Agustín Tapia's 2022 racket features the same range of technologies as the 2021 version, plus the new technologies mentioned in the first section of this analysis. We are talking about well-known features such as the Rough Surface textured faces for higher quality spin. Similarly, the famous AVS system is incorporated, which reduces vibrations generated by impacts. Thanks to AVS technology, players have less risk of suffering elbow injuries such as epicondylitis.

In this way, the differences in hardness are eliminated, so that the player does not lose control even when the ball makes contact very close to the frame.
