How the RR Score was calculated

|---|---|---|
| Specs | 55% | 61 |
| Approval from players | 30% | 65 |
| Versatility | 15% | 66 |
The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
