[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Nox Equation Hard Advanced 2027 is a round, medium-balance racket with a hard HR3 EVA core, listed by Nox for intermediate players. It weighs 355 to 365 g. On paper it is a control racket, not a power one. No reviews exist yet, so everything here comes from the specs, and the comfort meter reads Low. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an intermediate who wants control and a round head more than raw power - you like a firm, hard-cored response and are happy to pick your shots with patience - you are moving up from a lighter racket and want a medium balance that stays easy to swing Skip it if - you want a softer core, because the Nox Equation Soft Advanced 2027 shares nearly every spec but the core - you are a beginner, because Nox lists the Nox X-One Silhouette 2026 for that level instead - you are an advanced player who wants a pro-linked model. The Nox ML10 Pro Cup Light 2027 is listed for the advanced level ## How it plays 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

One entry changed: the surface went from Exclusive Spin to 3D Texture. That is a changed label, not a measured difference, and no source says how it plays. If you find the 2026 racket, the specs suggest the two are very close. Look at the 2027 if it is the one you can get. Check the surface name on the listing so you know which you are buying. ## Price history Today **€ 122.88** Lowest in 30 days **€ 109.95** vs 30-day average **+5%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. On paper, the Nox Equation Hard Advanced 2027 is a round, medium-balance racket. It has a hard core and changes very little from last year's version. Only one listed spec moved: the surface went from Exclusive Spin to 3D Texture. So the useful questions are simple. What does the racket do, and what can a changed surface label tell you? No review of this racket has been found yet. This is a reading of the specs, not a report from the court. ## Exclusive Spin in 2026, 3D Texture now: the one label that moved [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) lists the 2026 version with an Exclusive Spin surface. The 2027 version is listed with 3D Texture. Core, face, frame, level, shape, thickness and [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) all match. That is a changed label. It is not a measured change. Nothing in the specs says how the surface plays differently, or whether it does. If you own the 2026 racket, there is no spec-based reason to swap. If you are buying fresh, treat the two as close relatives. The Equation family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) **Hard Advanced** [**Soft Advanced**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-soft-advanced-2027/) ## A comfortable medium-hard feel, says Nox: the comfort meter reads Low The product page claims a comfortable medium-hard feel and says the anti-vibration system protects the arm. Nox lists rubber pieces embedded in the frame to absorb vibration. Those are the brand's claims, not test results. The specs read more cautiously. The hard HR3 EVA core lowers comfort. The fiberglass face raises it a little. The net result is a Low comfort meter. The rubber may take some sting out, but the racket stays firm. What can you do? If your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, try one before committing. Or look at the soft-core sibling below, though its comfort meter is also Low. The meters are coarse labels, so a gap may exist that they do not show. ## Hard HR3 EVA under 3K fiberglass: why power is Low and control Medium The core is the hard HR3 EVA, and the face is 3K fiberglass. A hard core normally adds power. A fiberglass face and a [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) take it away again. The result is a Low power meter. Control is Medium. The round shape and medium balance help. The fiberglass face lowers it. Not a racket that hits for you, but one that goes where you aim it. Nox itself gives the player profile as Control. The frame is carbon. The thickness is 38 mm. ## 355 to 365 g in a round head: what it asks of an intermediate arm The listed weight range is 355 to 365 g. That is not light, so you may notice it late in a long match. The medium balance should keep the head from feeling heavy, and the round shape suggests quick handling at the net. Nox lists it for the intermediate level. That fits. The round head is forgiving in shape, and the low power asks you to supply your own pace. If you are still building technique, that is not a bad thing. You learn to place the ball first. Your exact racket will land somewhere inside that range. Nox publishes no weight system. ## Equation Hard next to the Equation Soft Advanced 2027 and the X-One Silhouette The closest relative is the [Equation Soft Advanced 2027](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-soft-advanced-2027/). Same shape, balance, face, thickness and weight range. The one listed difference is the core: HR3 Soft EVA instead of Hard. All five meters read the same for both. So the labels cannot separate them, and the core name is your clue. Hard suggests firmer. Soft suggests the opposite. The [Nox X-One Silhouette 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/x-one-silhouette-2026/) is another round, medium-balance model with a 38 mm profile. Nox lists it for beginners, and its weight range starts at 350 g. It shows you the step down in level. You can also read the earlier [Equation Hard Advanced page](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-hard-advanced/) if you want to see the older listing. ## Missing numbers: what you cannot check before buying Several numbers are missing. Nox lists the balance only as Medium, with no measurement in mm. Head size, handle details and any weight system are not published. No pro player is linked to the racket. That matters for fit. Two medium-balance rackets can feel different in the hand. Until a reviewer measures this one, treat the specs as a good outline, not a full picture.
