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. No two of our sources measured this paddle on their own equipment, so there is nothing to average — each figure stands alone, exactly as its source published it. Reviewers' numbers never feed the derived estimates further up the page — those stay our own calculation from published specs. How we combine sources
