They are not lab measurements and not player review scores. A thicker core scores higher on control and lower on power; a rougher carbon face scores higher on spin; an elongated shape scores lower on forgiveness than a wide-body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joysent","offers":[{"title":"Paddle only","offer_id":53857078935866,"sku":"14:175#Only Paddle","price":189.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1819\/7562\/files\/18k-3d-weave-power-pickleball-paddle-hero.jpg?v=1785969319","url":"https:\/\/pickleballgearco.com\/products\/18k-3d-weave-power-pickleball-paddle","provider":"Pickleball Gear Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
