Scores are never sorted or averaged across scales — a 94/100, a 16/18 and an 8.5/10 are three different instruments. Products are grouped by label (Consensus, then Panel, then Single-source), strongest evidence first.

The full census — 19 brands, 58 lines, 169 models

Counted October 2026 across Tennis Warehouse, Tennis Express, Do It Tennis, Midwest Racquet Sports and direct-to-consumer stores. Every specific model has a page: a scored page when a source rates it, a coverage page when none has yet.
