If you're talking about CC, PS, and Power I added those to Handifast to create my version (HHX). The X was for eXperimental as I wanted users to know that it was different from the original. I wasn't sure that they had any value, but it was something that I wanted to try.

Those factors are not coded exactly like Mitchell's, btw. The EPS number is based on Quirin's research so it's slightly different, and PS does not use fps. It does use the 60-100 indexing formula from Mitchell's book. IIRC, Mitchell wrote that you could change the range if you so desired but I stuck with his suggestion. Power is weighted the same way as in the book.

Glad -- and somewhat surprised -- that those are holding up as being usable factors.
