Measured performance.

Where this paddle sits against the 514 we track. We describe the band it lands in rather than publishing the underlying lab figures — those are licensed, and the bands are the part we can share.

SpinVery highTop fifth of the catalog

How much bite the face puts on the ball.

PowerHighUpper range

Ball speed off the face on a full swing.

ControlMediumLower range

Touch and placement — worked out from power, swing weight and the maker's play-style label, not a bench reading of its own.

ForgivenessVery highTop fifth of the catalog

How stable the head stays on an off-centre hit.

Hand speedLowBottom fifth

How quickly it moves in a hands battle at the kitchen.

Where to go from here.

Same play style, a different trade-off — one steps up the measured performance, one protects your wallet. Add either to a head-to-head, or read it in full.
