Buy the Extreme Pro for faster hands and slightly more forgiveness, otherwise the AT10 Genius for maximum spin and power.
Two diamond-shaped, high-balance, advanced rackets — and yet they don't feel the same in your hand. The Head Extreme Pro uses Hard EVA with a 3K carbon face, weighing in at 360-375g. It's a touch livelier than the Nox, with quick hands at the net and a slightly more forgiving sweet spot for a diamond.
The Nox AT10 Genius 12K is Tapia's racket: a denser 12K weave, HR3 core, and up to 380g of head-loaded mass. It generates absurd spin on the kick serve and on aggressive viboras off the wall, but it's slower to manoeuvre on instinctive net exchanges and it's pricier in absolute terms.
For a UK club player at a strong 5.0 level who plays mostly doubles points where reactions matter, the Extreme Pro is the more usable racket. For a tournament-level player whose game revolves around top-spin smashes and aggressive defensive lobs, the Genius is the spec sheet you actually want.
