These are estimates, not measurements
We calculate these scores from the manufacturer's published specifications using a formula we publish in full. Nobody has swung this paddle on our behalf and nobody has put it on a swing weight machine. Treat them as a way to compare paddles consistently — not as lab data.

Where these numbers come from
This site is an aggregate database. We test nothing and measure nothing ourselves. Every number above is a named source's published work, credited and linked back to the page it came from. Where 2 of them measured the same thing, we average it and show you every individual reading. Reviewers' numbers never feed the derived estimates further up the page — those stay our own calculation from published specs. How we combine sources
