Gearbox Pro Integra Power 16 verdict
The most raw power in the database. Power 94 and plow-through 92 come with a 120 swing weight — this is a serve-and-drive weapon, not a kitchen paddle.
LUZZ Cannon XPP M1 Elongated 16mm verdict
A head-loaded offensive option with listed swing weight 122 ±3 despite a 7.93 oz average static weight. XPOP is designed for lively rebound; soft resets require touch. Estimated DNA is not proof of a measured power or spin win over Spitfire.
