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 Metallic T 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: Metallic Poly Carbon Fiber Weave (composite) on the Aero Metallic T 14mm, Unibody Force-Tec Unidirectional T700 Carbon Fiber (carbon) on the Aero T Carbon Fiber 16mm. Core: Not published against Unibody Edgecraft Foam Injected Polypropylene.
Price
The Aero T Carbon Fiber 16mm costs $30 less right now: $90 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21) against $120 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21).
