Is This Racket Right For You?

The NOX Pro Cup Rough 2027 is designed for players who want the easy control and forgiving feel of the classic Pro Cup, but with the added benefit of a textured surface.

Its round shape, soft HR3 EVA core and large central sweet spot make it especially suitable for beginners and improving players who want confidence on contact.

The rough surface adds extra grip on the ball, making it easier to generate spin on lobs, bandejas, viboras and sliced volleys without turning the racket into a stiff or demanding performance model.

Who Should Avoid This Racket?

Advanced players who want a very firm carbon response, high balance or maximum attacking power may find the Pro Cup Rough too soft and control-oriented.

It is designed around comfort, consistency and forgiveness, not raw power.

If you want a more aggressive response and stronger ball output, one of NOX’s carbon performance models will make more sense.

Product Description

The NOX Pro Cup Rough 2027 Padel Racket by Miguel Lamperti continues the legacy of one of NOX’s most recognisable racket families, adding a textured surface for players who want a little more spin from the classic Pro Cup formula.

The racket keeps the familiar round shape, generous sweet spot and soft response that have made the Pro Cup line popular for years.

That makes it particularly well suited to beginners and improving players, despite its place within NOX’s Classic Series Pro Line.

Inside, the HR3 EVA core provides a soft and comfortable response with good rebound, helping players generate useful depth without requiring aggressive technique.

The face uses aluminised fibreglass, combining the forgiving character of fibreglass with extra structural support. A carbon frame reinforces the perimeter to improve stability and durability while keeping the overall impact feel soft.

The defining difference of this version is the rough surface, which adds texture to the face and increases interaction with the ball. This helps players create more spin on sliced shots, lobs and overheads without changing the forgiving character of the racket.

The result is a beginner-friendly and control-focused racket that adds more spin potential to one of NOX’s most established designs.

How It Plays

The Pro Cup Rough 2027 feels soft, forgiving and very easy to control.

The round shape and large sweet spot help keep the racket predictable, while the HR3 EVA core provides comfortable ball output without requiring much effort.

The rough surface adds a useful extra layer of spin, making this version particularly interesting for players who are learning to use sliced lobs, bandejas and viboras.

It is not trying to be a brutal power racket. It is trying to help you hit better shots more consistently, which is a strangely sensible design brief.

Best Areas of the Court

• Back court – Excellent for lobs, controlled defence and developing consistency.

• Net play – Stable and comfortable for volleys and blocks.

• Bandejas – Rough surface helps add spin while the soft core keeps the shot manageable.

• Viboras – Useful for players learning to combine spin with controlled acceleration.

• Serve and return – Predictable response helps with placement and consistency.

• Defence – One of its strongest areas thanks to the central sweet spot and soft feel.
