Weight & balance
Record total mass, balance point, grip and handle dimensions. Review swing and twist measurements where available.
PADDLE DEVELOPMENT / SAMPLE EVALUATION
Translate the intended playing feel into a specific construction, sample brief and evaluation record.
Record total mass, balance point, grip and handle dimensions. Review swing and twist measurements where available.
Agree the sample build and a documented test method. Do not infer power only from a GEN label or face material.
Collect consistent sample-play feedback, with player profile and test conditions recorded.
Record surface treatment, texture / roughness method and any measured spin evaluation. Roughness alone is not a spin score.
Define face layup, core, bonding, edge / perimeter treatment and pressing process.
Confirm the exact model, current documentation and the destination or event requirements.
SURFACE TREATMENT / DEFINE THE REQUEST
Confirm the exact coating or abrasive composition, manufacturing method and the selected sample’s test requirements. Record an agreed roughness method rather than assigning an invented rating.
