Our impression
The Alum 18K version of Tapia's AT10 is the most uncompromising step in the series: 18K aluminised carbon over a multi-layer MLD Black EVA core with variable density delivers enormous power and spin. Unlike the more versatile 12K Xtreme version, it is clearly tuned for net dominance – the sweet spot and comfort are noticeably smaller.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Diamond means: mass high up, a small, high sweet spot – maximum power, but less margin on off-centre hits than round and teardrop; the high balance puts the mass to work on the smash, but puts more strain on the arm. The medium-hard core balances feedback and comfort. With power 9 and control 6 out of 10, it is clearly built for power.
With a forgiveness rating of 2.2 out of 10, it is less forgiving than 65% of the diamond-shaped rackets in our comparison. 9 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €143.05 to €233.99 – a €91 difference for the same model.
