The Nox Equation Hard Advanced is a mid price racket for players who want a firmer feel. It has a round to hybrid shape, a medium balance and a high density HR3 Hard EVA core.
The faces are three layers of fibreglass on a carbon frame, with a rough Exclusive Spin finish. Nox pitches it at players who want an attacking game without paying for carbon faces.

How It Performs
The hard core makes the Equation feel firm and direct. On full swings the ball comes off quickly, but on slow balls you need to add the pace yourself.
The rough finish grips the ball well, so slice and kick serves come easily. The shape keeps the sweet spot fairly central, which helps with control.
