The Nox AT10 Pro Cup SOFT 2026 uses the same teardrop mould Agustín Tapia played with in 2025, with Alum fibreglass faces and a carbon frame. Its low-density HR3 Soft core aims for comfort, control and easy ball output for advanced players with an all-round game.

Who is the AT10 Pro Cup SOFT for?
Designed for advanced players who value comfort and control as much as attack, or who prefer a soft feel to look after their arm. The teardrop shape balances sweet spot and reach. If you want more punch and a firmer feel, the AT10 Pro Cup HARD is the direct alternative; if you are still a beginner, the X-Zero range is technically easier.
Strengths
- Comfort: the low-density HR3 Soft core gives a soft feel and easy ball output.
- Control with spin: the Exclusive Spin surface helps add spin to bandejas and slices.
- Speed and comfort: EOS Flap and Pulse System, which according to NOX add speed and reduce vibration.
Things to consider
- On flat smashes it has less punch than the HARD version.
- At 360–375 g and advanced level, it is not a beginner racket.
AT10 Pro Cup SOFT or HARD: what changes?
Both share the mould, faces, frame, surface, EOS Flap, Pulse System and weight. The difference is the core: HR3 Soft in the SOFT for a soft feel and more control; HR3 Hard in the HARD for a medium-hard feel and more power. NOX has already presented the Pro Cup SOFT 2027.
AT10 Pro Cup SOFT or Equation SOFT Advanced 2026?
It depends on your level. The Pro Cup SOFT is teardrop-shaped, with Alum fibreglass and aimed at advanced players; the Equation SOFT Advanced is round, with 3K fibreglass, the AVS system and an intermediate level. Both use an HR3 Soft core and an Exclusive Spin surface.
