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. Swingweight with commercial machines is measured about 10 cm (4 in) from butt. The swingweights presented here are measured at the butt, which is a more natural axis of rotation.
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.
Impact Stiffness: Is a measure of force necessary to bend the paddle an inch when impacted by an impact device. The paddle is secured at the tip, throat, and butt, and the paddle impacted in the middle of the head. 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. This is measured in the middle of the paddle face.
Static Friction (COF_s): This is a measurement of the friction force inhibiting a static ball from sliding across the paddle. Most balls slide upon impact. If sliding balls come to a stop during impact and remain so, they will have greater spin than balls that slide throughout impact.
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.
