Sources

Palawizard indexes 223 rackets. Every measurement is attributed to its source and marked by confidence. We deliberately distinguish lab-like measurements from official specs and from social or reviewer readings, and keep conflicting readings side by side rather than averaging them away.

• X-Compare / Padel Magazine: independent lab-style measurements (frame and face stiffness, balance, swingweight, twistweight), accessed via the Extreme Tennis / Extreme Padel storefront sheets.
• Tennis Warehouse University (TWU): swingweight, twistweight and balance, plus TWU-distinctive figures (hitting weight, ACOR, friction) shown in their native units.
• Brand-official specifications: manufacturer product pages (for example All For Padel for Adidas), for declared weight, balance, foam, face material and shape.
• PadelShop: readings from PadelShop's Instagram videos, labelled as a social or reviewer measurement rather than a controlled lab method.
• Product images: manufacturer and retailer product photos, used for the shape classification and the racket thumbnails.

In the app, each racket shows the type of source behind its figures (lab, official, or social), conflicting readings are flagged (⚐) rather than averaged away, and consolidated cross-lab estimates are shown with a ± range rather than as a single authoritative number. The per-source credits and links are collected on this page. The full scoring method is on the Method page.

We host compressed copies of product photos only (no lifestyle or personal photography), the same product imagery every store and price-comparison site already shows. We keep each image's source on record, and if you hold rights to an image, or to any measurement set, and want it removed, we'll take it down and rebuild.

To request removal of an image or measurement, or to correct an attribution, email info@palawizard.com. We honour removal requests and rebuild the site without the flagged item.

Measurements are third-party lab and social readings retained with their provenance. Per-sample and per-method variance is real, because even two nominally identical rackets are hand-assembled and can measure differently. The scores are a heuristic comparison tool, not an authoritative ranking.
