Our verdict

What we loved

Three things it does better than most.

Textured face grips the ball for slice and lobs

Soft, forgiving round head

Unhurried handling at the net

Worth knowing

Three things to know before you buy.

Pace has to come from you

Soft feel will not suit natural hitters

The review

The Rough version of the ML10 Pro Cup adds a textured surface to Miguel Lamperti's recipe: a round head, an HR3 EVA core and a silver fibreglass face, soft at contact.

The texture is the difference that matters on court, giving the ball more grip on cut lobs and slice. Everything else is the Pro Cup we know: forgiving, unhurried and happiest building a point rather than ending it.
