In a previous article, we reviewed the technical basis behind the baseball / bat coefficient of restitution (BBCoR) and the pickleball paddle / ball coefficient of restitution (PBCoR). In this review, we postulated that there may be a direct correlation between the bat bending and hoop vibration modes and the paddle diving board and trampoline […]

This article supersedes a previous article (“Paddle Technical Comparisons”) and presents technical data for several paddles where various weight and stiffness characteristics were measured and analyzed. An explanation of these technical characteristics and how they affect paddle performance can be found in the companion article, “Paddle Technical Characteristics“. By knowing these characteristics, we can objectively
