Braydon interviewed JOOLA's signature players including Tyson McGuffin, Ben Johns, Collin Johns, Anna Bright, & Simone Jardim to understand their process of customizing their Gen 3 paddle with lead/tungsten tape (https://a.co/d/cQZKCif) and how these modifications affect the performance metrics and overall gameplay of the paddles.
Swingweight: Swingweight is a measure of the paddle’s resistance to swinging about the end of the handle. The higher the swingweight number the heavier it will feel in your hands. A higher swingweight has more power but is harder to swing, lower swingweight is easier to swing but has less power. Stock swingweights will vary between 100 – 140.
Twistweight: Twistweight is the resistance to rotating around the long axis through the middle of the paddle from butt to tip. The higher the twistweight the more resistance the paddle has to rotating on off center hits. This measurement is closely related to the amount of forgiveness or the size of the sweet spot of the paddle. A higher twistweight indicates a bigger sweet spot. Twistweight numbers range from 5 – 8. 6.3 is considered an average sized sweet spot or twistweight measurement.
