Good fit if
- You prefer a descending power profile—more response on serves and drives, with less pop near the kitchen.
- You use topspin, slice, or shaped shots.
- You want a balance of reach, hitting area, and hand speed.

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.
