Collection note: core.value is null because the page contradicts itself: the Features table says "Soft Foam", the description says "a firm sandwich foam". Balance is given as "Neutral", stored as medium. Source is the Tecnifibre EU web shop (tecnifibre.com/en, currency EUR, ships to EU countries). Weight is a single figure with no tolerance. Frame material is not stated; the page only names X-TOP "a mix of active fibers" at the racket head. No pro player is tied to this specific model; the page says the Curva range "is played by the majority of the Tecnifibre team on Tour". Level is described in a sentence, not a label.
How each rating was calculated
- Power 47 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + balance (medium) 17.5/35 + weight (355g) 6/20 = 46 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Control 50 = shape (teardrop) 30/60 + balance (medium) 20/40 = 50 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Handling 58 = balance (medium) 25/50 + weight (355g) 35/50 = 60 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Forgiveness 42 = shape (teardrop) 22.5/45 + firmness (not published) 17.5/35 + face material (carbon) 0/20 = 40 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Comfort 42 = firmness (not published) 20/40 + face material (carbon) 0/25 + balance (medium) 10/20 + weight (355g) 10.5/15 = 40.5 points, placed on the 10 to 90 scale
- Value 18 = mean of the two highest ratings, divided by the price in euros, scaled so the best value in the index is 100
