Description

The NOX AT10 Pro Cup Soft 2026 is built on the same mould Agustín Tapia used on the professional tour in 2025, updated for 2026 with the latest NOX technologies and made available to advanced players who want pro-level construction with a softer, more comfortable, arm-friendly feel. Where the AT10 Pro Cup Hard prioritises explosive crispness and maximum feedback, the Soft version uses a lower-density HR3 Soft EVA core to deliver easier ball output, greater forgiveness, and a noticeably more comfortable response on every contact, without sacrificing the teardrop power potential, EOS Flap aerodynamics, or Pulse System protection that define the AT10 Pro Cup range.

The AT10 Pro Cup Soft is built for advanced players who want the versatility and power potential of a teardrop racket but value comfort and sustainability over raw crispness. Its HR3 Soft core produces a more elastic, cushioned response at impact, the ball loads onto the face slightly longer, giving you a softer, more forgiving feel and easier ball output that reduces the effort required to generate depth and pace. Players who train multiple sessions per week, deal with arm sensitivity, or simply prefer a more comfortable touch while still attacking confidently will find the Soft version immediately rewarding. The EOS Flap keeps your swing fast; the Pulse System keeps your arm protected; the teardrop shape keeps your options open.

This is built on the same structural foundation Tapia used to win at the highest level, now updated for 2026 with EOS Flap and Pulse System. Whether you choose the Soft or the Hard version, both rackets carry the same tour-validated architecture, the only difference is the core feel.

Technology

Aluminised Fibreglass face (metallic finish), a fibreglass weave with an aluminised metallic coating that provides greater reactivity and faster ball output compared to standard fibreglass. More elastic and comfortable than carbon, ideal for the softer, more forgiving character of this version.

HR3 Soft EVA core, a lower-density, soft-touch EVA rubber core that produces a cushioned, elastic response on every contact. Longer dwell time on the face means easier ball output, greater comfort on defensive and off-centre contacts, and significantly less arm fatigue across long sessions. The defining difference between this racket and the Hard version.

EOS Flap, side perforations in the frame that reduce air resistance, optimise weight distribution, and deliver a faster, more aerodynamic swing speed. Unique to the AT10 range, not present on the Equation series.

Pulse System, lateral rubber inserts running from the base of the carbon frame to the butt cap, absorbing vibrations transmitted to the player's hand on impact. Provides a smooth, arm-friendly feel during intensive sessions, particularly effective combined with the soft core for players managing arm sensitivity or playing high-frequency schedules.

Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS), frame material extended four centimetres into the face surface, eliminating the hardness transition between frame and hitting zone, reducing the risk of fibre breakage on edge contacts and improving overall durability.

Exclusive Spin, a dual-texture surface finish combining a 3D hexagonal pattern in the central face zone with a sandblasted rough finish across the surrounding area. Maximises ball friction and grip for heavy spin on lobs, slice returns, and topspin drives.

Carbon Frame100% carbon fibre frame providing exceptional rigidity, torsional resistance, and long-term structural durability under competitive use.
