Buy the Nox ML10 Pro Cup Luxury if you're a committed defensive right-side player; otherwise the Adidas RX Series suits more styles.
Different intentions, and — these days — barely different prices.
The Adidas RX Series at £105 is the textbook intermediate teardrop: 360-375g, medium balance, soft EVA core, carbon fibre face. It does most things competently and forgives the rest. A genuine learning racket.
The Nox ML10 Pro Cup Luxury at £119 is a different beast. The ML10 line is Miguel Lamperti's signature — round shape, defensive bias, all-skill positioning, premium carbon. The "Luxury" badge usually denotes upgraded materials over the standard Pro Cup. With less than £15 between them now, the Nox is no longer the expensive stretch it once was.
This comes down to court position, not budget. If you play the right side — defensive, building points, glass play — the ML10 round shape will reward your style with a bigger sweetspot and better control, and at this money it's an easy recommendation for that player. If you play the left side or you're still figuring it out, the RX Series teardrop gives you more power options.
For most UK club players, the RX is still the better starting point. The ML10 Luxury is a specialist tool — just a far more affordable one than it used to be.
