Nox builds the Genius Attack 18K for play at the net: diamond shape, high balance point and a face of aluminised 18K carbon with a firm feel on impact. The oversize grip extends the handle by 30 mm – this makes two-handed shots easier and shifts the balance further into the head, which brings more punch on the smash. New for 2027 are a reworked frame geometry, a new EOS tunnel and the VCS anti-vibration system, which according to Nox passes 60% less vibration on to the arm. The core remains MLD Black EVA, the surface Dual Spin.
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. 10 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €311.95 to €399.80 – a €88 difference for the same model.

Our classification: Intermediate and Competitive. Its forgiveness is 2.2 out of 10 – uncompromising, only for consistent hitters.
The Nox Genius Attack 18K Alum 2027 (Agustín Tapia) weighs 365 g and has a diamond shape, a high (head-heavy) balance and a medium-hard core (MLD Black EVA). The frame is made of Carbon 18K (aluminisiert).
Not by our rule: the core is medium-hard, the balance is head-heavy, the diamond shape shifts the weight upwards, 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
