Score by score
How we score →The green bar wins the round. The Hard Advanced takes 1 of the six, and power and control and sweet spot and comfort and handling are level.
Feel is read from the core and the face until hardness is measured.
What is different
Face, weight and balance change between them; the rest is the same. Pick one to look closer.
Carbon against fibreglass: the Hard Advanced's carbon is stiffer and more precise, the Advanced Hard's fibreglass is softer, gives the ball more pop at low speed and forgives more.
Edge: the Hard Advanced, for precision
* The feel starts from the core's rated hardness (estimated from the core material where there is no rating), then the face: carbon 12K and up is firmer, fibreglass softer.
About the same weight: 355 to 365 g and 365 g.
No edge either way
The balance point is not listed for both.

About the same price: €85 and €85.
