Buy the Nox ML10 Pro Cup if you're a committed defensive right-side player — it's now the cheaper racket too; the Adidas RX Series covers more styles for a little more money.
Intermediate teardrop against a control-focused round shape.
The Adidas RX Series at £105 is a versatile intermediate: 360-375g teardrop, medium balance, EVA Soft Performance core, carbon fibre face. It does most things competently and won't punish off-centre hits.
The Nox ML10 Pro Cup at £81 is Miguel Lamperti's signature racket — a control-focused round shape built for defensive players and right-side specialists. The ML10 line is famous for its enormous sweetspot and forgiving feel — and it's now the cheaper of these two by around £25.
This comes down to court position and style. If you play the right side, build points, and rely on glass play, the ML10 Pro Cup will reward your style with control and a huge sweetspot — and save you money doing it. If you play more aggressively or you're still developing your style, the RX Series teardrop suits you better.
The RX is still the safer first upgrade for most intermediate players because it covers more styles. But the ML10 is no longer the pricey specialist option — if its brief matches your game, it's also the budget pick now.
