Is it your racket?
We'd rather you buy the right one than this one.
You'll love it if
- you're moving up from a beginner racket
- you want control and forgiveness
- you want great value
Maybe not if
- you want maximum power, look at a teardrop or diamond
- you're already an advanced player, try the Pro Cup or Genius
The NOX Equation Hard Advanced 2027 keeps the mix of manoeuvrability and control that made the Equation so popular. A round shape with a medium balance, a carbon frame, NOX's Dynamic Composite Structure, an HR3 Hard EVA core and 3K fibreglass faces with a 3D texture finish.
The result is a comfortable medium-hard feel with a more precise response. It's easy to move, forgiving, and the anti-vibration system takes the sting out of mishits. The patented Smartstrap wrist cord comes off for washing or replacing.
Who it's for: improving players who play regularly and want a step up from a beginner racket without losing control.
Our honest take: one of the best-value rackets NOX make. If you want more comfort and easier power, the Equation Soft Advanced is the same racket with a softer core.
