The Pro Cup Soft continues the classic Pro Cup shape with an HR3 Soft EVA core that, according to Nox, balances power, comfort and ball control. Aluminised fibreglass faces and a carbon frame keep the racket stiff enough, but the feel stays soft. The sectored Exclusive Spin surface helps with spin; the Pulse System and the aerodynamics of the EOS Flap are meant to keep the racket steady and take load off your arm.
At 365 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Teardrop means: the sweet spot sits a little higher – more punch in attack than a round racket, more forgiving than a diamond; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 6 and control 8 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 7.4 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 84% of the teardrop-shaped rackets in our comparison. Of the 2 versions of the Nox Pro Cup in our comparison, this is the most expensive (€189.80). 5 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €189.80 to €200 – a €10 difference for the same model.

The Nox Pro Cup Soft 2027 (Agustín Tapia) weighs 365 g and has a teardrop shape, a medium balance and a soft core (HR3 Soft EVA). The frame is made of Fiberglas (aluminisiert).
Not by our rule: 365 g is above 360 g. We only call rackets arm-friendly if they have a soft core, a balance that isn't head-heavy, a round or teardrop shape and weigh 360 g at most. Suitable models are listed in our guide to padel rackets for tennis elbow.
