Is This Racket Right For You?

The NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027 is designed for intermediate players who want control and stability without the firmer response of the Equation Hard.

Its round shape and medium balance make it easy to manage across the whole court, while the HR3 Soft EVA core gives the racket a more comfortable and forgiving response.

This makes it a strong choice for players progressing beyond beginner level who still want an easy racket to use, especially in defence, lobs, volleys and controlled point construction.

Who Should Avoid This Racket?

Advanced players who want a very firm carbon response, high balance or maximum attacking power may find the Equation Soft too comfortable and control-focused.

Likewise, players who prefer a sharper, more direct impact will probably be better suited to the Equation Hard.

This model is built around comfort, control and confidence, rather than aggressive power.

Product Description

The NOX Equation Soft Advanced 2027 Padel Racket is the softer, more comfortable version of the Equation platform, designed for intermediate players who want reliable control and easy handling.

Its round shape keeps the sweet spot central and predictable, while the medium balance gives the racket a stable feel without making it difficult to manoeuvre.

Inside, the HR3 Soft EVA core provides a softer and more comfortable response than the Hard version. This helps absorb impact and gives the racket easier ball output on slower shots, making it particularly suitable for players who value comfort and forgiveness.

The face uses 3K fibreglass, combining flexibility with enough structure to maintain consistency on volleys, blocks and controlled attacking shots.

The 3D Texture finish adds surface relief to improve ball interaction and support spin generation.

NOX also includes AVS anti-vibration technology, designed to reduce unwanted impact through the racket, together with DCS for greater structural continuity and Smartstrap for easier wrist-strap replacement.

The result is a versatile control racket that helps intermediate players progress without forcing them into a stiff or overly technical construction.

What’s New vs the NOX Equation Advanced?

The Equation Soft 2027 evolves the previous NOX Equation Advanced by giving the model a clearer comfort-focused identity.

• New Soft positioning – The 2027 model is explicitly designed around a softer, more comfortable response.

• HR3 Soft EVA – Uses a softer core to improve comfort, forgiveness and easy ball output.

• Round shape retained – Keeps the central sweet spot and control-first character.

• Medium balance retained – Maintains predictable all-court handling.

• 3K fibreglass face – Continues to provide an accessible and comfortable surface response.

• 3D Texture – Adds surface relief to improve interaction with the ball and support spin.

• AVS vibration control – Helps absorb unwanted impact and improve comfort.

• Clearer range separation – The Soft version now sits alongside the Equation Hard, giving players a more obvious choice between comfort and firmness.

How It Plays

The Equation Soft Advanced 2027 feels comfortable, controlled and forgiving.

The round shape makes it easy to manage in defence, while the HR3 Soft EVA core gives the racket a softer response and easier ball output than the Equation Hard.

The 3K fibreglass face keeps the racket accessible and smooth through contact, making it well suited to players who want confidence and consistency rather than a very rigid feel.

It is the more relaxed sibling in the Equation family. Not lazy, just less interested in punishing every imperfect hit like some sort of tiny composite-material schoolmaster.

Best Areas of the Court

• Back court – Excellent for lobs, defence and controlled exits from the glass.

• Net play – Comfortable and predictable on volleys and blocks.

• Serve and return – Easy ball output helps with placement and consistency.

• Bandejas – Forgiving response makes it useful for developing overhead technique.

• Defence – One of its strongest areas thanks to the round shape and softer feel.

• Transitions – Medium balance keeps the racket manageable when moving forward.

Equation Soft vs Equation Hard

• Choose Equation Soft if you prioritise comfort, forgiveness and easier ball output.

• Choose Equation Hard if you want a firmer, more direct and more precise response.

• Equation Soft uses HR3 Soft EVA.

• Equation Hard uses HR3 Hard EVA.

• Equation Soft has a medium-soft feel.

• Equation Hard has a firmer intermediate feel.

• Both use a round shape, medium balance and 3K fibreglass.

• Both are control-focused and suited to intermediate players.

• Soft is easier and more comfortable.

• Hard provides more feedback and precision.

Technologies
