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.
This paddle hasn't been through the bench our performance bands come from. The specifications below are the manufacturer's own, and they're the only claim we'll make about it.
