How It Plays
The Pro Cup Hard is direct and lively on full swings. The hard core and teardrop shape give good power on overheads.
On slow balls you have to add the pace yourself, which is the trade off with a firm core.
It is a good middle ground for players who find the Soft version too cushioned.
