Buy the RX Series Light if you're improving; the AT10 Genius 12K only if you're an aggressive attacking player.
A textbook level mismatch. The RX Series Light at £95 is friendly, versatile, all-levels kit, the natural pick for someone improving and wanting a frame that scales.
The Nox AT10 Genius 12K at £160 is Agustin Tapia's signature racket: 365-380g, diamond shape, high balance, HR3 core, 12K carbon surface. Built for aggressive attacking play and serious spin generation. Cons say it all, expensive and not for defensive players.
Where I'd send you: - RX Series Light if you're improving, varied in play style, or unsure exactly what kind of player you'll become. - AT10 Genius 12K if you're already an aggressive, attacking player with the technique to drive a head-heavy diamond.
Don't buy the AT10 because Tapia's name is on it. It's a specialist tool. If you're not pinning every smash and looking for more spin, you'll find it harsh and one-dimensional. The Adidas is the racket most UK players actually need, the Nox is for confirmed attackers only.
