What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Shape
Both are elongated shapes, at 16.5" × 7.5" for the 3 TruFoam Waves 14mm and 16.5" × 7.35" for the 1 TruFoam Waves 14mm.
Twistweight
The 3 TruFoam Waves 14mm has the higher twistweight: 6.5 against 5.88. Higher twistweight resists twisting on off-center hits, so the 3 TruFoam Waves 14mm should be the more forgiving of the two when you miss the middle.
Handle
The 1 TruFoam Waves 14mm has the longer handle: 5.75" against 5.5", which leaves more room for a two-handed backhand.
