I need help, I don't quite understand.

When I see a carbon or arylate blade the weight says for example 84g+-3g I dont understand, can someone help me please.
Thanks.

It means the weight of the blade could be anywhere between 81g to 87g.

Yeah, + 3g or -3g, but this is not always accurate.
I have seen +/- a few times - ie, one is 85g while the other is 95g

XVill, if you are in a physical TT shop and you value offense, select a blade with the HEAVIEST weight. Those will 99% of the time be the absolute BEST performing solid blade of the same model hands down. Pros will go through or have staff go through the whole batch to find the perfect heavy one. Some even go to extreme like that for RUBBER haha.

Even the internet places... most of them already weighed their blades and separate them by weight in order...
