Pick the Delta Pro only if its forgiving feel is worth a £110-115 premium; the Equation WPT is the value attacking buy.
Two teardrops squarely in the attacker camp — but no longer anywhere near the same price, with the Head now costing £110-115 more. The Head Delta Pro 2026 at £246 has a slightly softer modern feel, a more forgiving sweet spot and Head's typical balanced power-control profile. The Nox Equation WPT at £133 runs harder and stiffer, with a fully carbon face and an EVA core that's noticeably less plush on contact. Buy the Delta Pro if you want a teardrop that's still polite to off-centre hits, particularly if you're stepping up from a beginner frame and don't want to lose all your forgiveness in one go — but be honest that you're paying a serious premium for that politeness. Otherwise go for the Equation WPT, because the WPT pedigree isn't just marketing; the stiffer build genuinely transmits more shock through the ball on clean hits, and that translates to extra pace on smashes — at £133 it's comfortably the better value of the two. Both are good rackets, but at these prices the Equation is the default and the Delta Pro is the indulgence.
