Recently I have switched to this racket, and I think it is best for intermediate, I think all kinds of players can use it, but it is the BEST padel racket for intermediate players.

[@greys7545]

Great review. I've bought the nox EQ and am loving it, great control and power when you need it..

[@btentusscher]

Great channel! I am trying to choose between the Nox Equation WPT or a Kombat IA-63 Pampa or Delta Force 18K. Kombat seems umbeatable spec wise, but the Nox is a huge brand with deep pockets. What would you recommend? I come from tennis and I am searching for control without losing attacking pressure. Hope to hear from you soon!

[@edoardobassi2933]

Hi! Amazing video! Which racket would you suggest between a Nox Equation and a Nox ML10 Pro Cup Arena (rough surface) for a beginner/intermediate player? Is the Pro Cup worth the extra price? Thank you :)

[@EverythingPadel]

Thanks a lot!! I think to be honest the equation is worth it. Because it is very similar but at a great price

[@agustinarrieta9191]

Hi! How would you compare this racket with the classic ML10 pro cup (not the luxury series)?

[@paulooliveira8574]

Hello I currently playing with kuikma precision soft and im looking for something a little better. What is your opinion between NOX Equation WPT and NOX MM2 Pro? Do you have another suggestion? Many thanks

[@wikicamara]

Great review video! between this one and NOX ML10 Pro Cup or NOX MM2 Pro, which one would you choose? Intermediate player, would not consider myself as aggressive player...

[@deaddummy538]

What did you end up with? I’m in the exact same scenario

[@alexandroarzapalo2383]

HELLO! HAVE YOU TRIED THE NOX MM2 PRO?

[@stefanakk4680]

I'm looking for an allround racket right now... Just checked the tests at testfakta. Have you played with the Dunlop Aero Star (not the pro/lite/team, the regular that's in the testfakta review)? I'm curious if you would consider that an alround racket or more of a power racket? Do you think this NOX is much different from that one? Cheers!

[@EverythingPadel]

Dunlop aero star is decent! Thats more of a power racket tho correct, less of a control and comfort one. Equation is a bit different imo

[@Scifo81]

Hi, good review. Have you ever tried the TEMPO by Nox? Thanks, I would like to know your opinion... greetings from Chile

[@EverythingPadel]

Yes I have! it is awesome! great balance of control and power

[@TheDood656]

Hey great video, very informative unfortunately the racket was sold out, would you recommend it as a ladies racket?

[@EverythingPadel]

Yeh absolutely, the racket is coming back in stock next week!

[@jangoossens3399]

Hi, I am fan of all your video’s. Because of you I Play with the Nox Equation WPT. Great racket! I like to buy a second one, the Nox Tempo. Is this a good idee? Is there a big difference? Manu thanks. Jan G from Belgium

[@NilsSalvatore34]

Hi mate! I have the Alpha pro for 6 months now but I think the head balance is not my type yet and the weight is too heavy for me. I did a lot of research and the Babolat veron air came few times. I’m looking for control, I go fast to the net and could need some power some times. Would you recommend this nox for me or an another one maybe? Thank you

[@pietrozagaria7953]

hi, I bought babolat air Veron for lightness but I'm not feeling good about the control and the shape that I see strange. I think it has a small sweet spot and I find this Nox Equation of the review interesting as it already seems to me to be shaped suitable for control.

[@0xOmnius]

Great channel and great videos! I'm still struggling with my elbow. I have a lot of muscles (former powerlifter) but maybe my technique is very poor. Do you suggest a light padel racket? At the moment I'm using the Adidas Adipower Lite CTRL 3.1 but I'm thinking about changing it with a Nox ML10 or Head Zephyr UL. What do you suggest?

[@EverythingPadel]

Thanks man! Yeh light, soft and control-based, always works for me. Always ML10 would be good, head zephyr would be even better because that one is even lighter.

[@0xOmnius]

@@EverythingPadel A friend of mine gave me his Adipower Ctrl Lite 3.1, what do you think compared to the Head Zephyr UL? Should I buy the Zephyr UL? I’d like to play at least 2 times a week but I’m afraid about my elbow and I want an easy racket to learn how to play better. Thanks again, u r great!

[@EverythingPadel]

@@0xOmnius Head zephyr UL is sooo light, like super super light. si i think it would feel comfortable but theres a chance it could be too much. Ctrl lite I think should be fine.

[@0xOmnius]

@@EverythingPadel I've read now. Many thanks man, you rock!

[@0xOmnius]

@@EverythingPadel Hi man! After some matches with the Adipower Lite Ctrl 3.1 I feel like it has a small centered sweet spot e it is very light in the head (maybe too much). I measured the balance and it is 255mm. I am really curious too compare it with this Nox Equation (maybe bigger sweeet spot and better balanced?). Did you have the chance to compare them?

[@konstantinoskonstantinidis7987]

Cheers for the very informative videos. They really help. In March you presented the Dunlop aero as the best one for intermediate players. How does this one compare to the Dunlop one?

[@EverythingPadel]

Glad it was helpful!!! The dunlop is a bit more attacking and less control and comfort based

[@konstantinoskonstantinidis7987]

[@patrickbeckdk]

Would you also recommend this for a left sided player that needs to learn to powersmash the ball back to the own side, and perhaps learn the kicksmash?

[@OOOOOOOKKKKKKK69]

probably. both smashes are 80% technique and 20% power. If you get a racket that's too hard you'll most likely have a high risk of injury and still wonder why you cant get it out.

[@stefanosmous]

I’m thinking on getting the Cartri Tsunami Epsilon. Has anyone used this racket? I would love an honest opinion😊

[@dlinebackerp]

Hi, do you recommend this racket for a beginner/intermediate (around 6 months playing 3-4 days a week)? I’ve been playing with different rackets because I don’t own one

[@EverythingPadel]

yeh absolutely mate

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

Interesting,. How would you compare it to the similar looking NOX WPT Tempo? (I play with the Tempo but never tried the Equation). Are they similar in feel? The Equation is a LOT cheaper than the Tempo.

[@EverythingPadel]

Yeh so main reason for difference in price is the material, tempo is 12k carbon and multilayered core whereas equation is fiber glass and hr3 core. Much cheaper material and very soft. Tempo is also soft, but still a bit stiffer and obviously, much more durable.

[@TheRealBlueSwan]

@@EverythingPadel Alright, thanks for answering. I'll probably stick with the Tempo then! :-)

[@ewanramsden2983]

@@TheRealBlueSwan good idea mate

[@renzo7391]

How does this racket compare to the Adidas Adipower CTRL 3.1 lite that gets such good reviews almost everywhere? Is it as good or maybe even better?

[@EverythingPadel]

both very similar to be fair, both great!!

[@ricardomarques4705]

Hi there, first of all thanks for the video. I'm curious on how you would compare this racket with Adidas Essnova CRTL 3.1? Since I believe you also reviewed it on another video.

[@EverythingPadel]

Quite similar if I am honest, I feel the nox has a bit more comfort.

[@DatGuySander]

ML10 vs Equation?

[@EverythingPadel]

Very very similar - both great, I feel like the equation has a bigger sweet spot

[@urkling]

I just got the Equation, and i gotta say I am terribly dissapointed. Tried in 6 matches, and I am gonna send it back. It feels much more like a beginner racket, rather than intermidiate. It's supersoft, and the feel is comfortable. But I completly disagree with your 8/10 rating for power. These rating should give 1/10 to the weakest rackets for power and 10 for the hardest. I would give it 4/10 power on that scale. Edit:comfortable/nice

[@EverythingPadel]

sorry it didn't work out for you! I found the power alright to be fair, but it can be different for everyone, i strongly recommend you go for something with a carbon surface rather than fiber glass

[@urkling]

@@EverythingPadel thanks for the reply. Yeah, you are right, it probably is somewhat subjective. I have tried only like 8 different rackets. But I can say it had the least power of them. The silver lining here is that I found out what I look for in a racket. 😎

[@AvengerDK]

I some how found a shop that had just gotten these in stock and bought one. I'm off to try it in 20 minutes and I will report back.

[@EverythingPadel]

How did it go?

[@AvengerDK]

@@EverythingPadel pretty good at the end. Rough start, since it's sweet spot is smaller than the racket i had borrowed before. Another mistake was I only put on one overgrip. At the end i felt the control coming in. Being able to precise lobs, bandeja and some cheeky chiquitas. Feels good when a shot ends exactly where you want it. Decent power too. Thumbs up from 1,5 hours of play.

[@EverythingPadel]

sweet!
