Property Explanations

Swingweight: Swingweight is a measure of the paddle's resistance to swinging about the end of the handle. Higher swingweight has more power but is harder to swing, lower swingweight is easier to swing but has less power. Sometimes a faster swing with a lower swingweight can make up for power lost in swingweight. The price paid for that is greater impact shock.
Twistweight: Twistweight is the resistance to rotating around the long axis through the middle of the paddle from butt to tip. Lower twistweight is easier to maneuver but will twist more on off-center hits, thus losing power and delivering more shock.
Dynamic Stiffness: Is a measure of force necessary to bend the paddle an inch when impacted by an impact device. The paddle is secured just above the grip and the paddle impacted 21 cm from there (at the tip). Stiffness will be most closely associated to "feel". It is closely tied to vibration frequency but not necessarily (or strongly) to power.
Power Potential: This is also know as Apparent Coefficient of Restitution (ACOR) — a fancy way of saying how much of the incident ball speed remains after bouncing from a stationary handheld paddle. This depends primarily on swingweight, twistweight, and hittingweight.
Hittingweight: The ball is not hit with the full weight of the paddle. Every location on the paddle behaves lighter depending on the combination of weight, swingweight, twistweight, and balance of the paddle. The measurement reported here is taken at the tip. Higher hittingweight indicates more power and less shock.
Friction: This is a measurement of the stickiness of the paddle to the ball. Technically it is measurement known as the coefficient of static friction (COF). Higher COF is conducive to more spin. It may also influence your feeling of connectedness to the ball.
Vibration Frequency: Frequency is an indication of paddle stiffness and may be felt as a buzz in your hand. It represents how many times per second a free-standing paddle will bend back and forth (Hz) when hit by a ball.
