Complete analysis of Agustín Tapia's new racket

New features of the 2022 version

Agustín Tapia's new racket arrives with a totally renewed design, with a completely new color combination. A rather important change from an aesthetic point of view, but the big novelty of the 2022 edition of the AT10 Genius is the new 18K Carbon fiber on the faces, which replaces the 12K fiber of the previous version. This novelty completely changes the playability of the racket, which we will analyze below.

This strap can be replaced without the need to manipulate the base of the handle and allows us to customize our racket. Another important aspect of the new Genius is the supervision of Testea Pádel, a laboratory that certifies the racket against frame or face breakage. Thanks to this, it is clear that we are dealing with a Premium quality model.

Recommended playing style and level

Tapia's new racket has not lost the essence that has always characterized it. It continues to be a versatile model that offers an excellent balance between control and power. What a player wants is a racket with which they can attack, but also defend. This model stands out for its power but also for its precision. That's why it continues to have 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 is designed for the most experienced players and professionals, although it can be used by those with an intermediate level. This is one of the aspects that has not changed.

Main features of the frame and faces

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

This new fiber is stiffer than the 12K used in the previous version. This means that the player will experience a more solid feel when hitting the ball and greater hitting power. Thanks to this change, Agustín Tapia's new racket will have better behavior in offensive phases of the game.

The inside of the racket

The inside of the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius 18K plays a fundamental role in gameplay. This core is made of HR3, a rubber already known among 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 the high density helps to impart greater force to the shot.

Technologies of Agustín Tapia's new racket

Agustín Tapia's 2022 racket features the same range of technologies as the 2021 version. We are talking about well-known systems such as Rough Surface, a rough surface to achieve a better effect. In addition, we find the famous AVS system, which reduces vibrations generated by impacts. Thanks to AVS technology, players reduce the chances of elbow injuries such as epicondylitis. [caption id="attachment_12600" align="alignnone" width="750"] AVS System[/caption] Another known technology that we also find in this new version is the Dynamic Composit Structure. This is a system that seeks to connect the frame with the faces more fluidly. In this way, differences in hardness are eliminated, so that the player does not lose control even when the ball touches the areas closest to the frame.
