[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft by Agustín Tapia is the softer of Nox's two Pro Cup rackets for 2026. Nox pairs a teardrop of 360 to 375 g with an HR3 SOFT EVA core and a fiberglass face. The softer core is the reason to pick it over the Hard. It is still a heavy racket for advanced players, and there are no reviews yet. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 26 September 2026 Choose it if - you like the Pro Cup idea but want a softer response than the Hard gives - late or off-center contact is part of your game and you want the core to absorb some of it - a heavy teardrop that stays steady on full swings from the back suits you Skip it if - you make your own pace and want the most direct response, the [Nox AT10 Pro Cup Hard](/rackets/nox/at10-pro-cup-hard/) is the firm twin - the weight worries you, the [Nox AT10 Genius Ultralight 26](/rackets/nox/at10-genius-ultralight-26/) is a teardrop of 310 to 325 g for beginners and intermediates - forgiveness is what you need most, the [Dunlop Impact HL Red](/rackets/dunlop/impact-hl-red/) is a teardrop in the same weight range with higher comfort and sweet spot ratings ## How it plays 7.0 **padell.io score 7.0** Play 7.2 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The match was made automatically, so it may not be the same racket. The core, frame, surface, thickness, [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/), balance label and player all stay. Three labels differ. The face now reads Silver Fiberglass instead of Fiberglass Alum, the shape Teardrop instead of Drop / Tear, and the level Advanced instead of Avanzado. Those look like reworded descriptions, not a measured change. On paper the construction is the same. ## Price history Today **€ 147.48** Lowest in 30 days **€ 139.99** vs 30-day average **+2%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. Soft is the word that matters on this racket. [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) makes the AT10 Pro Cup in two versions for 2026, and the foam inside is the only listed difference. This one takes HR3 SOFT EVA. The rest is shared with the Hard: a fiberglass face with a metallic finish, a carbon frame and the shape Nox calls Drop / Tear. Both have a 38 mm profile and weigh 360 to 375 g. A retailer lists the balance as medium, and Nox does not publish it in millimetres. ## What the softer core buys you Soft foam gives way a little more at impact. The ball stays in contact a touch longer and late hits are punished less. Some of the shock stays in the racket instead of your arm. On slow balls a soft core gives easier depth. Against hard incoming balls it gives you a moment more to direct them. The product page says this racket is designed for players who prioritise comfort. It also mentions side rubbers running from the base of the frame to the lower part of the head, which Nox says reduce vibration. Those are the brand's claims, but they fit the choice of core. ## What it does not change A softer core does not make a heavy racket light. At 360 to 375 g this is in the heavy class, and a medium balance does not hide that mass at the net. The face and the shape are the same as on the Hard, so the handling is too. The profile on this page treats both HR3 cores alike and rates comfort and sweet spot low for both rackets. Read that with the name in mind. Between these two, the Soft is the gentler one. In absolute terms it is still a heavy racket, and Nox lists it at the advanced level, the same as the Hard. Not a comfort racket, but the more comfortable Pro Cup. ## An earlier Tapia mould and a fiberglass face According to the product page, the racket evolves from the mould of an earlier Tapia racket. Nox also lists side perforations meant to improve handling and weight distribution. There is a Smart Strap for changing the grip cord quickly, and an Exclusive Spin surface. The face is Fiberglass Alum, which Nox describes as fiberglass with a metallic finish that sits between carbon and fiberglass in stiffness. That sets the Pro Cup pair apart from the carbon Genius models in the AT10 family. Those use 12K or 18K carbon and carry a Professional level label. The Pro Cups are the fiberglass option under Tapia's name at the advanced level. ## Soft or Hard: how to choose Choose the Soft if your timing varies, your arm reacts to impact, or you like the ball to stay on the face. Choose the [Nox AT10 Pro Cup Hard](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/at10-pro-cup-hard/) if you hit clean, make your own pace and want the most direct response.

Face, frame, shape, weight range and thickness match. The Soft should give a softer, more forgiving response. **Is the Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft a comfort racket?** It is the more comfortable of the two Pro Cups, and Nox markets it for players who prioritise comfort. At 360 to 375 g it is still heavy, and the profile rates comfort low. **Does Agustín Tapia play the Pro Cup Soft?** Nox lists Tapia as the pro player for this racket, and his name runs across the whole AT10 family. Which model he uses in matches is not stated. **Is the Pro Cup Soft suitable for intermediate players?** Nox lists it at the advanced level. The softer core helps with inconsistent contact, but the weight and the small sweet spot ask for good technique. The Nox AT10 Genius Ultralight 26 is the family's option for beginners and intermediates. **Is the AT10 Pro Cup Soft by Agustín Tapia 2026 worth the money right now?** Today's price is labelled "Fair price" compared with the rackets that play most alike. Which shops deliver, and what shipping costs, depends on your country. The price comparison shows it for yours.

That counts as medium. Each racket can differ within that range. [Why a range? →](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/)
