How we measure
The facts here are the racket's listed specs: shape, weight, face, core, balance and the level it is made for.
How the core feels is read from the core material until we rate firmness ourselves: soft, medium or hard.
The share of rackets in a band is out of every racket we have scored.

The price at the top and the Buy button are PadelProShop's. The chart is that shop's price on every day we recorded it. Between two records the last price carries on, so a day we did not look never shows as a change.
Down means at least 5% and €5 lower than eight weeks ago.
Nothing here is live: the price on the shop's own page is the one you pay.
