What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Core thickness
The Aero T Carbon Fiber 14mm has the thinner core: 14mm against 16mm. Thinner cores generally hit harder with a firmer feel; thicker cores absorb more pace, which helps dinks and resets.
Face and core
Face: Unibody Force-Tec Unidirectional T700 Carbon Fiber (carbon) on the Aero T Carbon Fiber 14mm, Metallic Poly Carbon Fiber Weave (composite) on the Aero Metallic T 16mm. Core: Unibody Edgecraft Foam Injected Polypropylene against Not published.

- Weight: Both are listed at 7.85 oz.
- Swingweight: Both list a swingweight of 113.5.
- Twistweight: Twistweight is not published for either paddle, so we can't compare it.
