Adidas Adipower Legend wins by 15 points
Adidas Adipower Legend scores 90/100 against 75/100 for the Nox Equation Hard Advanced. Its biggest edge is control (+22). On price, the Nox Equation Hard Advanced is currently €84 cheaper.
“Ignore the Adipower name's attacking history: the Legend is a control instrument. Control 92 is among the highest we have scored, and the EVA Soft Performance core with a Carbon 3K face explains the feel: soft enough to absorb pace and reset the point, precise enough to put a lob on the back glass at will. Comfort 78 and tolerance 77 make it kind to arms and imperfect contact alike. Power 82 is the trade, respectable but not a finisher, so points end through construction rather than violence. For intermediates upward who win with patience and placement, it is superb.”
“The Equation Hard Advanced rounds out Nox's entry platform with the best arithmetic of the family: value 85 for the HR3 core under a carbon-fibreglass face, scoring the familiar 74/70 split with civil terms (comfort 70, tolerance 70) and prompt handling (72). Weight documentation is incomplete on this listing, so verify against the documented spread. The Equation family's verdict is collective by now: kind or keen, every edition embarrasses pricier mid-market frames, and the correct purchase is whichever edition and weight fits your hand at the week's best price. This one is frequently that answer.”
