Is it your racket?
We'd rather you buy the right one than this one.
You'll love it if
- you want comfort and fewer harsh impacts
- you want easy power without a stiff racket
- you're improving and play regularly
Maybe not if
- you want a firmer, more direct feel, try the Pro Cup Hard
- you want carbon stiffness, look at the Genius
The NOX Pro Cup Soft 2027 carries on the legacy of NOX's iconic Pro Cup mould with a softer, more comfortable set-up. It's a teardrop with an HR3 Soft EVA core, aluminised fibreglass faces and a carbon frame.
The soft core gives easy power and a forgiving, comfortable strike, while the carbon frame keeps it stable. The sectorised Exclusive Spin finish helps with spin and control, and Pulse System anti-vibration plus EOS Flap aerodynamics help your arm and swing.
Who it's for: improving and club players who want comfort and easy power, and anyone whose arm doesn't love a hard racket.
Our honest take: one of the easiest rackets to like in the NOX range. If you want a firmer, more precise feel, the Pro Cup Hard is the same shape with a harder core.
