Collection note: Core firmness is null because the page only uses the comparative "softer" in the description. There is no Touch, Feel or Hardness line in the specifications. The page shows "Teen/Adult", which is an age audience and not a playing level, so level is null. The rough surface statement is a general claim about every Mantis racket rather than a line specific to this model. The page also says buyers can choose weight and materials, so the listed specs may describe only the standard build.
How our estimates work
These ratings are calculations from published specifications, not measured playing results or our play tests.
