Weight measurement and plate details
Weight note
PUMA's official global launch article states 270g at UK8 and 220g at UK4.5. The registered PUMA US product page lists 290g without a sample size, so 270g at UK8 is proposed as the defined representative value and the discrepancy remains documented.
Plate note
Complete exact official specifications describe RUNGUIDE as dual-density NITROFOAM with a firmer rim and heel support, plus PUMAGRIP, with no carbon plate or rod structure identified.
