Tapia's 2025 Genius: a teardrop with an 18K aluminised carbon face and a multilayer core. Nox rebalanced it for speed in fast defence, added an octagonal grip cap and kept the dual-texture Exclusive Spin surface. Nox lists a drop / tear head, a listed weight of 360–375 g, balance Medium, a MLD Black EVA (multilayer) core and a Exclusive SPIN (3D hexagonal centre, sand texture elsewhere) face. Nox gives no balance figure; it says the balance was adjusted for speed. Padel Market lists it as medium. Nox's list price is €359.99 (noxsport.com, 12 Oct 2026; on sale there for €189.99).
