How We Review Gear

We research product specifications, compare products on consistent criteria, and explain exactly who each product makes sense for.

What we use as sources

• Manufacturer specifications and documentation
• Official product pages
• Other reputable primary references when needed

Amazon listings are primarily affiliate destinations—not our sole factual source. Each product record stores a specification source URL and last-verified date.

What we do not invent

• On-court testing claims we did not perform
• Numeric attribute scores without justification
• Fabricated awards, customer sentiment, or prices presented as live

When recommendations are research-based rather than hands-on tested, we say so.
