Is it your racket?
We'd rather you buy the right one than this one.
You'll love it if
- you want a dependable all-rounder at a fair price
- you like a firmer, more direct feel
- you're moving up from a beginner racket
Maybe not if
- you want maximum comfort, the Pro Cup Soft is kinder
- you want carbon stiffness and power, look at the Genius
The NOX Pro Cup Hard 2027 uses one of the most famous moulds in NOX history. It's a teardrop with an HR3 Hard EVA core, aluminised fibreglass faces and a carbon frame, giving a medium, balanced feel with plenty of control.
The fibreglass faces are stiffened by the carbon frame, so it doesn't feel mushy, and the sectorised Exclusive Spin finish (3D texture plus silica sand) helps you put work on the ball. NOX's Pulse System anti-vibration and EOS Flap aerodynamics round it off.
Who it's for: improving and club players who want a dependable all-rounder with a firmer response than the Soft version.
Our honest take: a lot of racket for the money. If you want more comfort and easier power, the Pro Cup Soft is the gentler option. If you're ready for carbon, step up to the Genius 18K.
