The best (Yonex Muscle Power 3i) are the safest for the wrist; the worst (Wilson Triads) are not recommended. The macro criterion of Wrist Safety comprises the evaluation criteria of 1.5×Wrist Crunch, Moment, Torque, and 0.5×Flex. Each of these evaluation criteria (Torque, etc.) produced composite rankings when the results under the 5 Benchmark Conditions were compiled, weighted, summed, and sorted. These composite rankings then were weighted, summed, and sorted to produce rankings under the macro criterion of Wrist Safety.
