2027 Nox Pro Cup Hard By Agustin Tapia

The Pro Cup is one of the most recognisable moulds Nox has ever made, and the Hard version is for players who like a firm, clear response at contact. The teardrop head lets it cover the whole court, and the HR3 Hard EVA core gives you control and plenty of feel for where the ball is going.

The faces are aluminised fibreglass on a carbon fibre frame, which gives it considerable stiffness while Nox still rates the feel as medium and balanced. The sectorised Exclusive Spin finish mixes a 3D texture with silica sand to help you shape the ball, and the Pulse System damps vibration so your arm is not paying for it later.

The trade is comfort: if your arm is sensitive or you like a cushioned contact, the firmer core will feel more direct than you want, and the Pro Cup Soft By Agustin Tapia is the same mould with a softer HR3 Soft EVA core. If you generate your own pace and want precision back, the Hard is the better of the two.
