Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman Padel Racket vs Nox AT10 Genius 12K Padel Racket — Padel Rackets Comparison UK 2026

Two premium rackets at opposite ends of the playing-style spectrum. The Bullpadel Vertex 04 Woman at £132 is the women's-fit version of Bullpadel's flagship attacker, with a balance and grip tailored for the typical female swing profile. The Nox AT10 Genius 12K at £199-207 is Agustin Tapia's signature, 365 to 380g diamond, high balance, HR3 Core, 12K carbon surface.

Roughly £70 separates them — the Nox is now clearly the pricier racket — but the choice should still start with fit and style.

• The Vertex 04 Woman is purpose-built for women's frames and grip sizes. It's also more forgiving than the AT10 Genius — and now the cheaper of the two.
• The AT10 Genius 12K is genuinely aggressive. The 365 to 380g weight and high balance make it a smash weapon, but it's not a defensive racket and it's tough on smaller hands.

If you're a woman and serious about the game, the Vertex 04 Woman is the better long-term fit and the easier spend. If grip size and weight aren't a problem and you want pure attacking power, the AT10 Genius 12K delivers it — but it now carries a real premium, so it has to be the racket you actually need rather than a bargain punt.
