These two are hard to separate
Every derived index is within a few points. Our scores come from spec sheets, and spec sheets can't capture feel — at this margin the honest answer is that you should demo both rather than trust a number.

Only differences big enough to matter are listed. Anything inside the margin of an estimate is left out.
- Core thickness
- 16mm against 14mm. The thicker core dwells on the ball longer; the thinner one rebounds harder.
