Collection note: Core hardness value left null: the page names the foam and describes its density but does not rate it soft/medium/hard on a scale. Shape is published as 'Allround' and balance as 'Slightly Head Heavy'. Neither maps cleanly onto the index enums (round/teardrop/diamond/hybrid, low/medium/high), so both values are null and the verbatim text is kept for a human to map.
