    Collection note: The page gives no firmness line such as Touch, Feel or Hardness. 'Soft' appears only in the foam name 'Eva Soft Performance', so core.value is null. 'Type of Game: Control' contrasts with the description, which stresses power and offensive play ('raises the power potential', 'ideal for offensive-minded players'). The shape is listed as 'Diamond' in Details and as 'Diamond Oversize' in the description; both are diamond. The page mentions 'Spin Blade Decal' and 'Spin Blade Mold' for spin but never states a rough or textured surface, so roughSurface is null. The frame material is not stated.
