An arrow marks the extreme value in that row — it is a measurement, not a verdict: heavier, stiffer or thicker is not automatically better, and which end suits you depends on how you play. A row is left unmarked when the values match, when the gap is too small to feel (under 5mm of balance point or 0.2mm of shaft diameter), or when the figure isn't published.
The verdict
The LDLYD and the LD12L are both speed rackets, so the choice comes down to feel rather than role — fast, flat exchanges and quick defence. In the hand, the LDLYD is head-heavy, carrying weight toward the head for more power on the smash (balance point 302mm), and the LD12L is even-balanced, a neutral feel that neither rushes nor loads the head (298mm). The LDLYD's shaft reads Stiff, versus Slightly Stiff on the LD12L — the stiffer of the two rewards a faster, cleaner swing while the softer one adds repulsion and forgiveness. On weight, the LDLYD comes in 4U and the LD12L in 4U; lighter frames move faster in defence, heavier ones put more behind an attack. At ₱4,000 against ₱4,000, the LDLYD is the more affordable of the two — worth weighing against the differences above rather than in isolation. If you play a power game, lean toward the more head-heavy, more attack-oriented of the two; if you value speed and control in the flat exchanges, the lighter, more even option will suit you better. Switch the weight class on either column to see how the numbers move before you decide.
