Pairs well with

Agustín Tapia's 2027 flagship, in the standard balance. Teardrop head, 360–375 g, 38 mm — the frame closest to what he actually plays with.

The face is 18K Alum carbon. Aluminised, so it holds its stiffness through a cold morning or a hot afternoon, and it gives a solid, precise ball rather than a trampoline. Under it sits an MLD Black EVA multi-density core: soft enough to hold the ball in defence, firm enough to flatten one out when the lob comes up short.

Two things are genuinely new for 2027. The VCS anti-vibration system bonds a high-performance elastomer across the whole inner surface of the frame and cuts the vibration reaching your arm by around 60% against the 2026 Genius. The EOS Tunnel reshapes the throat for cleaner airflow, which you feel as a slightly quicker head through the swing. The Weight Balance system takes 2 g and 4 g counterweights up to 8 g, so you can move the balance yourself rather than buying a different frame.

Surface is Dual Spin — 3D relief over a sand coat — and the handle carries Nox's Oversize Grip, 30 mm longer than standard for two-handed backhands.

Buy this if you are an advanced player who wants the real Genius mould and will use all of it. If you want the same materials with the mass pushed higher for smashing, take the Genius Attack 18K Alum. If 360–375 g is more racket than your arm wants, the Genius 12K Alum Xtrem Lite is the same family at 350–360 g with a softer core.

Not sure which shape?

Round: sweet spot in the middle, most forgiving. Teardrop: the middle ground, suits most club players. Diamond: sweet spot high, maximum power, least forgiving.

Shipping, returns and care

Free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $100. 30-day returns on unused items in original condition. Fit protector tape before first use and keep the frame out of a hot car — heat damages padel rackets far more often than impact does. Covered by a 12-month manufacturer warranty against defects.
