The evidence.
Then your experience.
We explain fitting principles, attribute specifications to their sources, and show where a personal test is needed. We do not present our guides as original robot testing or measured player fittings.
Useful equipment advice tells you what changes, why it matters, and how to check whether it helps your game.
