Nox ML10 Pro Cup COORP

Nox says the ML10 Pro Cup Coorp keeps a soft, comfortable feel, but the sheet lists a hard HR3 EVA core. That is the first thing to weigh before you go on. No review exists yet, so everything below comes from the specs and from what Nox claims.

Soft and comfortable, says Nox: the core and the comfort meter disagree

The product page talks about a soft, comfortable feel. It also says the aluminised fibreglass faces and carbon frame add stiffness. Those are the brand's claims, not measurements.

The spec sheet tells a slightly different story. The core is HR3 EVA, which the profile treats as hard. The weight is heavy. Both lower comfort. The silver fiberglass face raises it, and so does the low balance. The sum is a Low comfort reading.

What does that mean for you? Expect a firm racket, not a cushioned one. If your elbow complains easily, take that seriously. A soft feel in the marketing is not a reason to ignore the core.

Round head, low balance label: where High control comes from

The shape is round. The balance label is Low, and it comes from a retailer, padelnuestro.com, not from the brand. Both raise control. The silver fiberglass face lowers it a little, yet the result is still High.

In practice, a round head with a low balance keeps the weight close to your hand. The profile favours placement and predictability over raw pace. Not a racket that wins you points through power.

That is also why power is Low. The round shape and low balance both take it down. The hard core and the weight add some back, but not enough. If you want to finish points, you will do it with placement and timing.

Nox claims a large sweet spot. The profile puts it at Medium. A round shape helps, and the hard core works against it. Treat the brand's wording as a claim.

360 to 375 g at 38 mm: what the weight asks of an advanced arm

The weight range is 360 to 375 g. That is heavy. The thickness is 38 mm. Nox labels the racket Advanced.

A heavy racket with a low balance is a different thing from a heavy, head-heavy one. The low balance keeps it manageable, which is why maneuverability lands at Medium. Round shape and low balance raise it. The weight lowers it.

Still, the listing gives a range, not one figure, so you cannot tell in advance which end of it you get. If you tire late in a match, that matters. A heavier racket with a hard core also passes more shock to the arm. Not a problem for everyone, but worth knowing.

Coorp, Silver 2023 and Luxury Series 23: three Pro Cups, close on paper

The ML10 Pro Cup Silver from 2023 is lighter at 350 to 365 g. It also uses a 3K fiberglass face and an HR3 EVA core. On paper it has Medium comfort and High maneuverability, one step better than the Coorp on each. If comfort and speed matter more to you, that is the one to compare.

The ML10 Pro Cup Luxury Series 23 lists the same 360 to 375 g and 38 mm. Its face is 3K carbon and its core is high-density HR3 rubber. Its five meters match the Coorp exactly. So the difference is in the materials, not in the profile you can read from the specs.

Rough, Light 2027 or Coorp: the same-year Pro Cups sorted

Two 2027 siblings sit close by. The ML10 Pro Cup Rough has the same weight, core, face and 38 mm thickness. Its balance label is Medium, not Low. Its maneuverability reads Low, and its control drops to Medium.

The Pro Cup Light 2027 is lighter at 350 to 365 g, with a medium balance and a plain fiberglass face. Control reads Medium there too.

So the Coorp is the one in this group with the lowest balance label and the highest control reading. That label comes from a retailer, so check it before you buy.

What Nox leaves out: millimetre balance, head size, handle

Several numbers are missing. Balance in millimetres is not published. Neither is head size, handle or weight system. The only balance information is the retailer's Low label.

That limits how precisely you can judge the feel. Two rackets with the same label can behave differently. Until a tester plays this racket, read the meters as a guide, not a promise.
