Specs as each maker published them, compared word for word after units are read. A value published for only one year is marked "not enough comparable information", never "matching". Materials are named in free text, often in two languages, so a different name is shown as "described differently" with both quotes rather than called a change. Feel is the manufacturer’s description of the racket, not our measurement of foam hardness. When a maker states two different values for one spec, both are shown and neither is counted as a change. Price is left out because the stored price is today's, not the launch price.
