Swing Weight & Twist Weight — 62 Matched Paddles
Lab-measured swing weight and twist weight for every Racquet Science paddle confirmed on the Johnkew Pickleball database. Swing weight reflects momentum through the swing (power, harder to redirect quickly); twist weight reflects stability on off-center contact (forgiveness on mishits). 62 of 64 matched paddles had complete data — 2 were dropped for missing values.
Performance quadrant: Swing Weight × Twist Weight
Each dot is one paddle, colored by shape. Upper-right = powerful and forgiving. Lower-left = light and unforgiving (built for quick hands / soft game). Hover any dot for full specs.

Balance is the balance point in cm from the butt cap — lower reads more head-light, higher more head-heavy. Power Score and swing/twist weight are Johnkew's own lab-derived metrics.
