2027 Nox Pro Cup Soft By Agustin Tapia

This is the kinder of the two Pro Cups. It uses the same well-known teardrop mould, but the HR3 Soft EVA core gives a softer, more comfortable contact, and Nox pitches it as a balance of power, comfort and control rather than a pure control racket.

The aluminised fibreglass faces and carbon fibre frame keep the stiffness it needs while the feel stays soft, and the sectorised Exclusive Spin finish — 3D texture in some zones, silica sand in others — helps you work spin into bandejas and slices. The Pulse System damps vibration, and EOS Flap keeps the racket moving cleanly through the air.

The trade is directness: players who generate a lot of their own pace may find the soft core a little muted when they really go after a smash. For them the Pro Cup Hard By Agustin Tapia is the same racket with a firmer HR3 Hard EVA core. If comfort matters more, this is the one.
