CRBN-3X Power Series verdict
The 3X keeps the 1X length but widens the face to 7.5 in and shortens the handle to 5.25 in, which buys a noticeably larger sweet spot at the cost of two-handed backhand room.
JOOLA Perseus POWER FX 16mm verdict
JOOLA’s first full-foam paddle on the familiar 16mm Perseus shape at $179.95, built for effortless power. Comparable swing and twist weights are not published, and every DNA trait is an editorial estimate.
The verdict
Comparable swing and twist measurements are not verified for both paddles. DNA scores are estimates, not laboratory results; compare construction, fit and price rather than a numerical inertia winner.
