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.

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

ForgivenessLowBottom fifth

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.
