RFP's take — our interpretation of the measured data
Who should actually swing it?
The measured numbers put this in control territory: a balanced swing weight blends hand speed with plow-through, and the spin sits in the upper tier.
✅ Great for: players who value placement, touch, and a predictable face.
⛔ Look elsewhere if: you want raw put-away power over finesse.
