Great range and prices. Struggled to find somewhere that was a one stop shop. Glad I stumbled across this store and having a local click and collect is a great bonus.

Who this racket suits
The comfortable member of Agustín Tapia's Pro Cup pair. A teardrop built on what NOX call one of their most iconic moulds, with a soft HR3 EVA core, aluminised fibreglass faces and a carbon frame — the Tapia name and shape in NOX's Classic series.
How it plays. Easy and forgiving. Padelful's review of the 2026 Pro Cup Soft rated it 9.1 for rebound — the ball comes out of defence with very little effort — and described it as a comfort-first all-rounder that is kind on the arm. The trade-off they flagged is punch: flat smashes don't have the finish of a firmer frame. The teardrop puts a little more mass higher in the head than a round Pro Cup, so you get more help on the overhead than the Lamperti models give.
What's new for 2027. NOX now specify a carbon frame and their Exclusive Spin surface — a sectorised 3D texture with silica sand — for more grip on slice and kick. The Pulse System anti-vibration and the EOS Flap at the throat carry over. The "AT10" prefix has been dropped from NOX's own naming this year; it is the same Tapia line.
Where it sits. Lamperti's round ML10 Pro Cup Coorp and the Equation Soft are NOX's other comfortable intermediate rackets, and the Genius 12K Xtrem Lite is the soft teardrop in the Luxury range. In stock now, compare the Babolat Air Vertuo 2.6, a soft fibreglass teardrop.
Is this the racket for you?
- Yes if you are an intermediate player who wants a teardrop's extra help overhead without a stiff, demanding feel, or you have had elbow or wrist niggles.
- No if you hit hard and clean and want more precision: the Pro Cup Hard is the firmer twin.
