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":"HONOLULU","offers":[{"title":"White - 16 mm","offer_id":53857084080442,"sku":"14:173#WHITE 16MM","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue - 16 mm","offer_id":53857084113210,"sku":"14:29#BLUE 16MM","price":125.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1819\/7562\/files\/j2cr-foam-core-pickleball-paddle-hero2_de675711-bbb1-43fd-8e63-c2dd2d681f26.jpg?v=1785969575","url":"https:\/\/pickleballgearco.com\/products\/j2cr-foam-core-pickleball-paddle","provider":"Pickleball Gear Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
