Flash 2.0 for genuine first-year players; ML10 Pro Cup is a steal at similar money once you've stopped framing the ball.
Beginner staple versus all-court flagship — and, remarkably, they now cost about the same. The Head Flash 2.0 sits at £75-95, beginner-rated, 355-365g, round shape, low balance, soft EVA core, fibreglass face at 38mm. The Nox ML10 Pro Cup is £81, right in the middle of the Flash's price band, and carries Nox's premium all-court billing.
The Flash 2.0 is the racket I'd put in a complete beginner's hand without thinking twice. The round shape and low balance make the sweet spot huge, the soft EVA absorbs the framers you'll hit while learning the back glass, and the price means you won't lose sleep replacing it in eighteen months.
The ML10 Pro Cup is built for a different stage of player altogether. It rewards clean contact with consistent pace, but it'll punish a beginner with the same misses the Flash forgives. The old excuse for not buying it — a much steeper price — has gone; the only question left is whether your technique is ready.
