Good fit if
- You prefer a descending power profile—more response on serves and drives, with less pop near the kitchen.
- Spin is a major part of your game.
- You want fast hands during kitchen exchanges.

The provisional Calmer Kitchen Play badge appears when the lower of Serve and Drive Power exceeds Pop by at least 1.5 points. It identifies separation between full-swing output and compact-stroke response; it is not a laboratory control score. A true passive-block measurement will appear only after ImpactTune completes its own controlled stationary-paddle testing.

- You use a two-handed backhand.
