Collection note: Same racket is sold in Red and White at the same price on noxsport.com. The page title carries no year; the store tags the product "palas2026", which is the basis for year 2026. The surface field on the page reads "SUPERFICIE: Brillo" (gloss finish), which says nothing about roughness, so roughSurface is null. Balance is not published.
How each rating was calculated

- Forgiveness 82 = shape (round) 45/45 + firmness (soft) 35/35 + face material (hybrid) 10/20 = 90 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Comfort 68 = firmness (soft) 40/40 + face material (hybrid) 12.5/25 + balance (not published) 10/20 + weight (355g) 10.5/15 = 73 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
