Read the face and edge before comparing materials
Distinguish solid, layered, looped and raised surfaces.
Look at the side profile
A front photo can show the face shape without showing padding or the seam at the edge. Check side and reverse photos to identify layers, cutouts and trim.
Compare the useful measurements
Overall length includes the grip. Face width and handle length help describe the construction more directly. If a listing gives only one length, ask which dimension it represents.
Check the edge separately
Surface material does not explain how the edge is finished. Inspect seams, caps, and any metal detail. Set damaged or rough items aside.
