Head-to-head on PRR scores, specs, and live prices — independently tested with the same methodology. Updated daily.
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl wins by 13 points
Adidas Metalbone Ctrl scores 88/100 against 75/100 for the Nox Equation Advanced Soft. Its biggest edge is control (+17).
“The Adidas Metalbone Ctrl is a round control frame at 360 g with an EVA foam core, built for advanced players who want exceptional directional precision. Control at 90 is the exceptional headline: among the most precisely placed frames in the advanced bracket. PRR score 88 confirms the level of overall performance. Power at 78 is the honest trade-off. Comfort at 76 and tolerance at 76 keep it usable across regular sessions. PRR score: 88/100.”
“This Equation Advanced Soft listing is the same Nox kindness recipe under a shuffled name: control 73, comfort 72, tolerance 72, power 70, value 84. Full specification is unconfirmed on this listing, so confirm the specimen matches the documented Equation Soft Advanced's HR3-and-fibreglass build. The guidance is identical because the racket almost certainly is: a kind, composed, exceptionally priced entry into Nox's range for placement-first improvers. Between the two near-identical listings, the practical rule as ever: verify in hand, buy the cheaper. The equation solves the same either way.”
