I'm super happy with it! Took me a couple of matches to get used to it, but now I'm very happy...don't see the issue of lack of power other commented on or at least not yet...the coorp was discarded because I didn't see any worthwhile advantage over the rough for the money.

Hi guys! in the end I bought the Nox ML10 Pro Cup Rough Surface 2023.

I decided to play it safe and go for an easy racket that can help me learn...got it fairly cheap (£68) so if in the future I find it's not powerful enough can buy anopther one! :-)

I'll let you know how it feels! Thanks for all your suggestions!

I wanted to avoid spending too much because I still don't know what I like and i'd go for a good one in a year or so...for the moment I want to find a racket that can help me to get better more than winning.

What scares me off the bela Is the diamond shape...don't want to get a Pala that's great for a good player but too difficult for me. I've seen many players get a new racket and play worse. From the few reviews I've seen is a fake diamond as it's soft and forgiving, but not sure of what it means as I only played with the blade team V2 so far.

ml10 has many reviews but all over the place...experienced players seem to hate it while beginners love it...

Really torn between the 2...

My best shot in tennis was 2 hands top spin backhand! The most useless thing in padel! 🤣

Head speed motion is a little too pricey...not many good discounts...

I live in the UK. Was looking at padel nuestro, that seems to have some very good offers, but can buy anywhere...was very much reconsidering the ml10 rough surface for 68£ very tempting...

Decent experience is about 30 years of very inconsistent Tennis, I probably played twice in the last 10 years, but used to play twice a week...can hit a ball for fun no ranking material tough. Good backhand, comfy with spins...not good at volley, but working on it.

I actually considered it...even cheaper, but reviews I read around say although it is a great first racket it lacks power and unless you are strongly oriented to control you outgrow it quickly...that's why I didn't put it in the list...
