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.
Who this paddle may suit
Avoid if
- You do not want to add weight for stability; off-center hits may twist the stock paddle more.
- You prefer a wider face over the reach of an elongated shape.
