NOX ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface Edition Review (2025)

The ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface Edition is the connoisseur's version of padel's most beloved control frame, and its card is remarkable: control 88, tolerance 82, comfort 80, value 84, the friendliest combination we have scored at this level.

About this core

A HR3 core. 44% of the rackets we have scored sit in this band. Read from the core until we rate firmness ourselves.

The review

The textured face helps the ball grip for cut lobs and slice, the even balance keeps everything unhurried, and maneuverability 78 means you are simply never late. Power 70 completes the philosophy: this racket does not finish points, it dismantles opponents until the finish is trivial. For control players at any serious level, it is close to a default recommendation.

Highlights

Top 2% for control, and in the bottom quarter for power.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 73% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
