Dissecting the oscillation and torque data gathered from twenty-two 13mm and 16mm models—tested relentlessly over fifteen high-heat court days using varied 5.0+ player styles—I can confidently...

Exhaustively tracking kinetic feedback across seven different composite cores—grinding for three weeks through humid indoor sessions and unforgiving windy outdoor desert courts, utilizing both 4.0...

Testing revealed a critical flaw in how most players assess paddle comfort: comparing the vibrational dampening properties of a dozen composite and carbon-fiber faces—from high-altitude, outdoor...

Testing revealed that optimal swing weight is inseparable from grip circumference, a truth I hammered home over 40 hours of high-altitude tournament play and humid sea-level rec games, utilizing...

Tasked specifically with evaluating the marginal gains in touch and torsional stability, I committed three intense weeks of competitive drills—ranging from humid coastal venues to mile-high desert...

Testing revealed a distinct performance gap when I put seven entry-level carbon fibers against traditional polymer cores; over four weeks, analyzing swing weight forgiveness in both humid indoor...
