Buy the Nox AT10 Genius if you attack from the net constantly, otherwise the Adidas Arrow Hit handles club play better and saves you nearly £90.
Two very different beasts here. The Adidas Arrow Hit at £113 is a sensible all-rounder pitched at recreational players who want a recognisable brand without going pro. The Nox AT10 Genius 12K is Agustin Tapia's signature weapon at £199-207, weighing 365 to 380g with a high-balance diamond shape and 12K carbon face designed to crush smashes.
The gap is now nearly £90, which sharpens the question: who are you on court?
If you're already lifting opponents off the court with overheads and want pro-grade spin, the Tapia signature delivers and the premium is justified. If you play a mixed bag at club level, save the best part of £90 and pick the Arrow Hit.
