The NOX Equation Hard Advanced 2027 is a round-shaped racket for intermediate players who want to grow into the advanced game.

Our measurement
The key characteristics at a glance
Measured on our Wilson Baiardo Tune Pro. Objective measurements, no marketing claims.
Soft (62 on our scale). The ball sinks nicely into the face and bounces back smoothly. Forgiving and comfortable for players who value feel.
Our hardness scale
Maneuverable (147 on our scale). For reference: rackets built purely around power often sit at 165 or higher while control rackets sit around 150. This racket sits clearly below average which makes it extremely fast in the swing.
Our swingweight scale
355 to 365 grams
medium
In practice: a round racket with a large centred sweetspot. Forgiving on shots that do not land exactly in the middle. Combined with our measurement of hardness 62 and swingweight 147 the character on court is a maneuverable racket built around precision.
Who suits this racket
Well suited to: intermediate players: intermediate players who want to develop their game with a forgiving racket. The round shape and large sweetspot help you build technique without every less clean shot being punished.
Less suited to: advanced players who want maximum attacking leverage. For pure power a diamond suits better. For a sensitive elbow see our selection for padel elbow.
How does this racket play?
The sweetspot of a round sits centrally on the face. On our measurement this racket has hardness 62 and swingweight 147. What that means on court: a maneuverable comfortable racket suited to control and precision.
The technology: what do you notice?
- 3K Fiberglass (the face): three-layer fibreglass fabric that provides greater thickness for increased resistance and durability. What you notice: solid feel with forgiving response for developing players.
- HR3 Hard EVA (the core): high-density EVA rubber. What you notice: quick ball rebound with a firm feel that suits players who want to add power.
- 3D Texture (the surface): hexagonal 3D pattern in the centre paired with a sandblasted finish elsewhere. What you notice: extra grip on the ball for developing spin skills.
- Anti-Vibration System: rubber pieces embedded in the frame that absorb vibrations from off-center shots for extra arm comfort.
- VCS (Vibration Control System): a high-performance elastomer inside the handle that absorbs impact. NOX claims a 60% reduction in vibration compared to their previous system. What you notice: less shock through the wrist and elbow especially on off-center shots.
- Pulse System: lateral rubber inserts in the frame that further reduce vibrations transmitted to the hand.
- Dynamic Composite Structure (DCS): the frame material extends into the face area which prevents surface cracking at the frame-face junction and creates a more uniform feel across the hitting surface.
- Custom Grip®: NOX's patented grip technology certified by Testea Padel. Better hold and reduced vibration transmission.
- Smart Strap: quick-release safety strap. Hygienic and adjustable to personal preference.
- Carbon Frame: full carbon frame construction that provides rigidity and durability across the entire racket.
