The Equation Soft shares its shape, weight and construction with the Hard version – round, medium balance, carbon frame, 3K fibreglass faces with a 3D Texture surface – but uses an HR3 Soft EVA core. Nox describes the feel as very comfortable, with a controlled response on every shot. The anti-vibration system in the frame adds further damping, and the Smartstrap makes the wrist strap removable.
At 360 g, it is mid-range in our comparison – light enough for quick volleys, heavy enough to take hard balls with stability. Head shape Round means: a large, central sweet spot – lots of control and forgiveness, little power of its own; plus the medium balance as the all-round standard. The soft core takes the sting out of the ball and is the gentler choice for sensitive arms. With power 6 and control 9 out of 10, it is clearly built for precision.
With a forgiveness rating of 8.6 out of 10, it is more forgiving than 58% of the round models in our comparison. Of the 4 versions of the Nox Equation in our comparison, this is the most expensive (€119.90). 4 of the 21 shops in our comparison stock this racket, with prices from €119.90 to €125.
