The surface consists of fiberglass with a metalized finish to give the material a level of rigidity that is between carbon and fiberglass. The frame is made of 100% carbon fiber. It has an anti-vibration system reducing the risk of injuries.
New with this model is Rough Surface, created using silica sand. This roughness helps generate more effective shots.
First impression
Nox keep improving the design of the iconic ML10 Pro Cup. We believe this version is the best looking so far. The name Arena comes from the Spanish word “arena”, meaning sand. A fitting name as the whole racket is covered in silica sand.
Our test racket weighs about 373 grams with two overgrip and the balance measures 255 mm.
