Nox AT10 Pro Cup Soft '26

Comfort-first all-rounder with a lively response: easy ball output and arm-friendly impact make defence and long rallies easier, while it stays stable at the net. It lacks punch on flat attacks and smashes need self-generated pace.

“It suits weekly players who live in long rallies and want something reliable in defence and stable enough at the net.”

Tapia's name on NOX's gentlest recipe: control leads, comfort and tolerance forgive generously and the even-balanced teardrop is easy to time. Power only attacks selectively, and buyers expecting flagship AT10 bite will be disappointed.

“buyers who understand it is a soft, friendly all-courter wearing a famous shirt will be satisfied.”

Padelreference's expert notes highlight maximum comfort and easy ball output from the softer core, suited to long rallies without fatigue; control scores high, tolerance lowest.

“Its softer core offers maximum comfort and easy ball output, perfect for long rallies without getting tired.”

Retailer comparison with the Hard twin: the Soft is the easier, more comfortable option whose softer foam and fibreglass face give more trampoline effect and easier depth in defence, at the cost of some precision.

“Soft foam usually feels more elastic and more comfortable, especially in defence.”
