How I measured this

Every number in this review is one I measured with my own equipment and instruments. Swing weight on a Briffidi SW1, twist weight on a Briffidi TWA2, static weight on a precision balance scale, serve speed and punch volley speed with a radar gun, spin from a high-speed camera at over 500 frames per second, surface roughness with a stylus roughness tester. It's the same setup for all 624 paddles I've measured.

Swing weight 116.7 · Twist weight 6.9 · Spin 2,349 RPM · Static weight 8.22 oz · Serve speed 60.4 MPH · Punch volley speed 39.2 MPH · Surface roughness 7.08 Ra

If a metric is missing above, this paddle hasn't been through that test yet. Full measurements for the P1 Hybrid-16mm are on its paddle page. My method is written up on the methodology page, and every paddle I've measured is in the paddle data study.
