Collection note: Frame material conflicts. The at a glance list says 'Frame: hand-layered 12K carbon' and the comparison table says 'Dual tubular 12K European carbon fibre'. The tech specs say 'Carbon–Kevlar composite' with 'Hand-layered Kevlar', and the page title also mentions Kevlar. Frame is therefore null. Weight is only approximate ('around 350 g', '~350G'), so 350 is used for both min and max. Core firmness is taken from the core description ('medium-soft'); no TACTO, Touch, Feel or Hardness line exists. The word Soft appears only in the foam name 'EVA Soft Black 28' and was not used. The tech specs name the core 'High-density EVA 28 foam'. The 38 mm figure appears in the Frame line ('38 mm dual tubular') and is not labelled as racket thickness. No year, playing level or endorsing professional is stated. Nick Hatchett, David Sanchez and Coach Gabo appear only as testimonials. Price is shown both as 1,103.00 NIS and as £320. The product page shows a price converted to the currency of the visitor. The price recorded is the one in the shop's own catalogue record, in British pounds.
