Lisa Matthews is a mechanical engineer who fell in love with pool and applied her technical expertise to equipment analysis. With a background in materials science and precision manufacturing, she dissects pool equipment like a surgeon—measuring deflection coefficients, analyzing wood grain density, and testing tip compression rates with lab-grade equipment. Her reviews include actual performance data, not marketing claims. When manufacturers say "low deflection," Lisa measures exactly how low. Her obsession with specifications and testing methodology has made her the go-to source for players who want data-driven equipment decisions.
