Paddle analytics
Every paddle in the database on one plot. Change the axes to see which tradeoffs are real and which are marketing — the power/control frontier is much less of a straight line than brands imply.

Control against Power
Each mark is one paddle. Colour and shape both encode the paddle shape, so the chart stays readable without colour vision.

What you're looking at
Power, control, spin, forgiveness and swing weight are derived estimates calculated from manufacturer-published specifications. Price is MSRP. Nothing here is a physical measurement.
Scores use fixed bounds rather than being ranked against the current catalog, so a paddle's number never shifts just because a new paddle was added. The full formula is on the methodology page.
