NOX Equation Light W Advanced Review (2025)

Name: NOX Equation Light W Advanced
Brand: NOX

The Equation Light W Advanced is the light Equation: round at 350 to 365 g with an HR3 core, a 3K fibreglass face, a carbon frame and a rough finish.

Every racket is unisex. Women often prefer a lighter racket, which is why brands sell women's rackets in their own line, and anyone who wants one can play it. This one weighs 350 to 365 g, 5003 g under the average adult racket we have scored (180185 g).

The review

The Equation Light W Advanced is the light Equation: round at 350 to 365 g with an HR3 core, a 3K fibreglass face, a carbon frame and a rough finish.

The lower weight keeps it quick and easy on the arm, the round head forgives contact away from the middle, and the fibreglass face places the ball reliably. Pace has to come from your swing, as with every Equation.

Highlights

Top 26% for handling, and in the bottom quarter overall.

Both are true at once, and between them they are the whole review. Our score is better than 14% of the 518 rackets we hold a score for.
