Nox AT10 18k 2025

30% positive82 reviewsView price on Amazon

In shortPlayers find it manoeuvrable, forgiving and easy on the arm, with good control and a big sweet spot. The main complaint is a soft, trampoline-like feel, worse in warm weather and on blocks, and many want more power on smashes. Several report cracking.

Italian player who has owned five AT10s since 2022 calls the 18K 2025 the most complete: softer than the 12K 2025 yet more forgiving, with a more even face, more control and easy ball exit. All recent AT10s are very manoeuvrable, good in defence and easy on the arm, but not power rackets and a bit short on flat smashes.

“la 18k 2025 la più completa di quelle con cui ho giocato, più morbida della 12k 2025 ma più permissiva secondo me da maggior sensazione di omogeneità del piatto e maggior controllo ha uscita di palla più facile”

Has played the AT10 18K 2025 for about a year (around 369 g without overgrip) and loves its control and feel, but it has started to feel a bit dead. Physically strong with no arm issues, they want more power on smashes, viboras and from the back, and are moving to the AT10 12K.

Finds the Nox AT10 18K 2025 firmer than the 2024 with less ball exit, demanding better technique in defence, but more precise and controllable on volleys, especially in summer.

Show quote
“La nox at 18K 2025 comparada con la de 2024, en mi opinión, tiene un punto más de dureza que te obliga un poco más en defensa, la bola no “sale” tanto y debes estar técnicamente mejor atrás.”

Left-side player who plays six days a week calls it an almost perfect racket: easy to manoeuvre with a large sweet spot, great with slow and medium balls thanks to its medium feel, good in defence, and precise on volleys with lots of spin. The downsides are a flat smash that lacks finishing power from deep and a slightly slow feel in very fast games.

Show quote
“it's a fantastic training racket, rewards clean technique, but doesn't punish you too harshly.”

Owned the AT10 18k 2025 after the 2018 12K; found it manageable with good control but much softer, with far less power on smashes.

Show quote
“tenía la at10 18k 2025 y venía de la 12k de 2018 (aquella genius negra con la X dorada) y siempre me ha dado la sensación de que la 18k era muuucho más blanda y al rematar salía mucho menos.”

Finds the AT10 18K 2025 a big step up from the 2024: more power, control and spin, a bit stiffer, but still an easy racket.

Show quote
“I would go for the 18k 2025, it is way better than the one that you have now, it got improved a lot under every aspect, more power, more control, more spin”

Switched from Metalbones and won't go back: good power that still keeps the ball in, and insane control.

“lastly, i switch to at10 18k 2025, and i never go back to metalbone anymore. the power is good, i have a good power forhand and the ball still in. the control is insane.”

Plays the 2025 AT10 18K and really likes its consistency and defence, but as a left-side player feels their smashes come off too soft and lack power.

Show quote
“I do really like the racket, although I’m a left sided player and feel like my spikes are too soft / lack power.”

Has used the 2025 AT10 18K and finds it medium rather than soft: responsive without feeling spongy on volleys and smashes, balancing control with a touch of flex for most players.

Show quote
“it definitely feels more on the medium side rather than soft. It’s responsive without feeling spongy especially on volleys and smashes.”

Owns the 2025 AT10 18K Alum and, though a lower-level player, finds a nice mix of control and power, saying it is not a shotgun; says it appears to have addressed the lack of punch reported on the 2024 version.
