Collection note: Balance is given as 'Even', which is not one of the listed balance words, so value is left null (commonly read as medium). The Details 'Surface:' line gives an area ('519 cm2'), not a material; the face material comes from the 'Face: Fiberglass' line. The level is listed as 'Beginner', while the short description says 'ideal for Discovery players'. No Touch/Feel/Hardness line states core firmness. The marketing text mentions 'an incredibly soft, smooth feel' and 'Soft touch' for the fiberglass, and the foam is named 'Eva Soft Performance', but these are not a firmness rating, so core value is null. Year 2026 is supported by 'Collection: 2026' and the product title.
