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.

Analysis

Where they actually differ

Only differences big enough to matter are listed. Anything inside the margin of an estimate is left out.

Core thickness: 13.7mm against 14mm. The thicker core dwells on the ball longer; the thinner one rebounds harder.
Handle: Dunlop AG three V1 has the longer handle at 5.3" — the deciding factor if you hit a two-handed backhand.
Price: Diadem Icon Infinity Max is $40 cheaper at MSRP.
