Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026

When control and arm comfort sit at the core of your game, you deliberately go for a racket that forgives every shot while keeping its precision. The Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026 is the comfort-driven take on Agustín Tapia's iconic Pro Cup line: it shares its mould with Tapia's 2025 model and pairs an HR3 Soft EVA core with a Fiber Glass Silver striking surface. What you get is an all-round teardrop racket that combines soft touch, controlled ball output and varied playing pleasure — from the baseline up to the net, from defending to a well-placed attack.

🧑‍🎾 Who is this product for

Advanced and advanced-intermediate players who value comfort and control more than raw power are well served by the AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026. Because the soft HR3 Soft EVA core absorbs shocks better than harder cores, this racket is especially attractive if your arm, elbow or shoulder is sensitive. If you like to switch tactically between defence, build-up play and placed attacks, you also get a dependable instrument in your hands here. Moving away from a power-oriented racket but keen to keep enough punch? Then this racket is a great fit.

💬 First impression from PadeLMQ

The first thing you notice with the AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026 is how easily the ball comes off the striking surface. On every contact, the Fiber Glass Silver face gives a pleasant, lively sensation that is neither dull nor harsh. Thanks to the HR3 Soft EVA core, the response stays soft and controlled, so on volleys, lobs and deep balls you never get the sense that the racket is correcting you rather than backing you up. In quick exchanges at the net, you can clearly feel how the EOS Flap technology adds to manoeuvrability. From the opening point to the final one, this racket gives you confidence.

🧠 Did you know...

...the Fiber Glass Silver (FGS) striking surface is made of a metallised fibreglass weave whose stiffness was intentionally set between that of classic fibreglass and carbon? As a result, the racket feels more responsive than traditional fibreglass, yet stays more comfortable than a striking surface made entirely of carbon.

🎾 Key features

• Teardrop shape with medium balance – provides a generous sweetspot just above the centre and a well-balanced blend of control and power for all-round players.
• HR3 Soft EVA core – painted rubber core of low density that ensures soft touch, outstanding shock absorption and controlled ball output.
• Fiber Glass Silver (FGS) striking surface – metallised fibreglass weave whose stiffness lies between carbon and standard fibreglass, giving a hitting sensation that is smooth yet stable.
• Exclusive Spin finish – two rough textures: a 3D hexagonal pattern in the centre of the striking surface paired with a sandblasted finish on the rest, for as much ball grip and spin potential as possible.
• EOS Flap – side openings built into the mould that improve aerodynamics and refine weight distribution, making the racket more manoeuvrable.
• Pulse System – rubber inserts along the sides, from the frame down to the bottom of the racket cap, that dampen vibrations and protect your arm through long rallies.
• Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS) – strengthens the link between frame and striking surface by carrying material 4 cm into the face, so fibres at the outer edge of the racket break less easily.
• SmartStrap® – wrist strap you can replace quickly and easily for optimal hygiene and a personal touch.

🧬 Technologies

• EOS Flap – Side perforations in the mould that optimise aerodynamics, manoeuvrability and weight distribution.
• Pulse System – Rubber inserts along the sides that considerably cut the vibrations reaching the player's hand.
• Exclusive Spin – Finish with two levels of roughness (3D hex in the centre + sandblasting on the remainder) for maximum grip and spin control.
• Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS) – The frame material runs 4 cm into the striking surface, keeping the drop in hardness between frame and face to a minimum and preventing fibre breakage.
• Fiber Glass Silver (FGS) – Fibreglass weave with a metallised finish, offering stiffness between carbon and standard fibreglass.
• Carbon Frame – Frame made of 100% carbon for structural rigidity and long-lasting durability.
• SmartStrap® – Replaceable wrist strap for hygiene and personal customisation.

🔥 PadeLMQ test result

Judging by the product specifications, the AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026 brings together two strengths you rarely find this well balanced in one racket: exceptional arm comfort and steady control over the whole striking surface. The HR3 Soft EVA core and the Fiber Glass Silver face complement each other to create a playing feel that is soft but never turns vague. For players who rely on spin as a tactical weapon, the Exclusive Spin finish with its dual roughness zone is a real asset. Worth knowing: if you are used to stiff, explosive rackets, you will need a little time to adapt to the softer, more elastic response. That is no weakness — it is exactly what makes this racket stand out.
