This is the Head Ignition 145. It's pretty new but I think it's the successor to the Head Cyano 145.

How we measure

Power and control scores derive from manufacturer 1–10 ratings when published, normalized to our 0–100 catalog scale.

Maneuver scores weight strung mass and balance point against the full catalog distribution.

Missing metrics stay blank — we do not invent lab numbers.
