[How padell.io earns money](https://padell.io/how-we-earn-money/) The short answer The Nox Equation Soft Advanced 2027 is a round, medium-balance racket that Nox lists at 355 to 365 g. The 2026 version topped out at 375 g. On paper it is a control racket for intermediates, with low power. No review has tested it yet. The catch: the comfort meter reads Low despite the soft name. By [Ruud Caris](https://padell.io/about/) · facts checked 9 October 2026 Choose it if - you are an intermediate who wants a round head and a predictable response - you play a patient, control-minded game and like to build points rather than end them quickly - you liked the 2026 Equation Soft Advanced but wanted a slightly lighter racket Skip it if - you want easy power from the back of the court, since the power meter reads Low - you are a true beginner, since the Nox X-One Silhouette 2026 is listed for that level - you want the HR3 Hard EVA core, which belongs to the separate Nox Equation Hard Advanced 2027 ## How it plays 7.4 **padell.io score 7.4** Play 7.9 (60%) and reviews 6.6 (40%).

The listed weight went from 360 to 375 g to 355 to 365 g. The surface label went from Exclusive Spin to 3D Texture. Core, face, frame, shape, balance label, thickness and level are listed the same. A changed label is only a changed label, so do not assume a different feel from the surface name. The weight change is the real difference on paper. If you want a lighter racket, look at the 2027. If you already like the 2026, little else suggests you need to switch. ## Price history Today **€ 122.88** Lowest in 30 days **€ 110.00** vs 30-day average **+3%** Lowest price per day across the shops in your market. Checked every night. The top of the [weight range](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-weight-range/) on the Nox Equation Soft Advanced 2027 came down, and nothing else of substance moved. ## Lighter at the top end: what changed since the 2026 Equation Soft Advanced The 2026 version is listed at 360 to 375 g. This one is listed at 355 to 365 g. The surface label also changed, from Exclusive Spin to 3D Texture. Core, face, frame, shape, balance label, thickness and level are the same. So this is a lighter range and a new surface name, not a new racket. Whether the texture plays differently is not something the specs can tell you. The Equation family Same year, from most power (left) to most control (right) [**Hard Advanced**](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-hard-advanced-2027/) **Soft Advanced** ## Maximum comfort, says Nox: the core says soft, the comfort meter reads Low The product page promises a softer feel with maximum comfort and control. It also says the anti-vibration system absorbs impacts and protects the arm. [Nox](https://padell.io/brands/nox/) describes that system as rubber pieces embedded in the frame. The meters tell a more careful story. The core is HR3 Soft EVA, but the meter treats it as a hard core, and comfort reads Low. The 3K fiberglass face pulls the other way. Treat "soft" in the name as a label, not a measured result. No reviewer has tested this racket yet, so nothing confirms or contradicts the claim. If your elbow or shoulder is sensitive, try one before you commit. ## Round head, medium balance: where Medium control and Low power come from A [round shape](https://padell.io/guides/padel-racket-shapes/) keeps the racket forgiving and easy to place. Nox lists a medium balance, so it is not head-heavy. Together they explain Medium control and Medium maneuverability. Power is Low. The round head and the fiberglass face both hold it down. Not a racket that does the work for you, but one that lets you build points. Nox itself lists the player profile as control. What does that mean for your game? On paper, you supply the pace. If you hit through the ball with a full swing, the racket will not add much. If you prefer to keep rallies going and pick your moment, the specs point the same way you do. The sweet spot meter reads Medium, so expect a usable hitting area, not a generous one. ## 355 to 365 g at 38 mm: what the lighter range asks of an intermediate arm The range is 355 to 365 g, with a thickness of 38 mm. Lighter usually means quicker at the net and less strain over a long session. It also means less mass behind the ball. Nox lists the level as intermediate. The product page says it suits players who want to progress with more control. The [Nox X-One Silhouette 2026](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/x-one-silhouette-2026/) shares the round shape, medium balance and 38 mm thickness. Nox lists it for beginners, at 350 to 365 g, and its five meters read the same as this racket. So the level label, more than the specs, separates them. ## Equation Soft or Equation Hard: two cores, one meter profile The [Equation Hard Advanced 2027](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-hard-advanced-2027/) has the same listed weight range, shape, face, balance label and thickness. Only the core label differs: HR3 Hard EVA instead of HR3 Soft EVA. Its meters are identical to this racket. So on paper you cannot separate them. The meters cannot show how the cores differ in feel. You can set them side by side in the [comparison](https://padell.io/compare/nox-equation-soft-advanced-2027-vs-nox-equation-hard-advanced-2027/). If you played last year's model, the [earlier Equation Soft Advanced](https://padell.io/rackets/nox/equation-soft-advanced/) is the link to follow. The practical advice is simple. If the core name matters to you, because of your arm or your taste, test both before you decide. The sheet alone will not settle it. ## What Nox leaves out: balance in mm, head size and handle Nox gives a balance label, Medium, but no balance in millimetres. Head size, handle details and weight system are also not published. That matters. Without head size you cannot judge how large the sweet spot is. Without balance in mm you cannot rank it precisely against rivals. Until reviews arrive, treat this as a sketch drawn from the sheet, not a full picture.
