Nox ML10 Pro Cup Rough by Miguel Lamperti 2027

What to expect

On paper this is the familiar Pro Cup: round, soft, fiberglass faces and a forgiving sweet spot, now with a textured face for extra grip on the ball. It points to control players who build points and want comfort. Hard hitters looking for a big smash will likely want a stiffer, head-heavy model.

The Nox ML10 Pro Cup has been one of the brand's best-known control rackets for years, tied to Miguel Lamperti. The 2027 Rough version keeps the classic recipe, a round head, fiberglass faces on a carbon frame and a soft core, and adds a raised, textured surface on both faces.

That makes it the grip-focused sibling of the smooth-faced Pro Cup Coorp and Pro Cup Light. Retailers list the weight between 360 and 375g, so the exact figure is still uncertain until Nox publishes a final spec sheet. Nobody has tested this exact model yet; what follows is a reading of the specs.

What the Brand Says

According to Nox and its retailers, the HR3 core gives a controllable response and a soft, comfortable feel, and the round shape creates a large sweet spot. The textured faces are the only real change in character from the other Pro Cup versions. Smartstrap, Nox's replaceable safety cord, is included. Padelshop.com lists a core hardness of 63 and notes that the softer core absorbs more vibration, while still advising players with elbow complaints to test it first.

Early coverage so far is the Nox 2027 collection launch video and catalogue overviews of the new range, such as Dani 13's look at the 2027 Nox rackets. No dedicated hands-on review of the Pro Cup Rough 2027 exists yet.

How It Compares

On paper, the Pro Cup Coorp 2027 shares the same shape and soft build with a smooth face, so the choice comes down to whether you want extra spin bite. Players who want more power from the same family should look at the harder ML10 models higher in the range, which trade comfort for a firmer response.
