Overview
The paddle uses a 16mm polymer honeycomb core with a 3K carbon fiber face reinforced with titanium wire. Its 8.25-ounce listed weight gives it a stable feel, while the 16.5-inch length adds reach on wide balls. The 7.5-inch width keeps the elongated shape reasonably quick through the air.
The 5.5-inch handle leaves useful room for a two-handed backhand or extra leverage on drives. Its 4.25-inch grip and one-piece comfort grip should appeal if you prefer a secure, moderately sized handle. A reviewer praised the grip during long matches, while another found the paddle heavier than expected. Check the actual weight if swing speed matters to you.
Play style
This paddle leans toward controlled power rather than maximum pop. The 16mm core and moderate weight should support resets, dinks, and steadier touch shots, while the carbon face helps with spin and shot precision. Reviewers report easier soft shots, added bite on serves, and useful control on drives.
The elongated shape gives you more reach on wide balls and extra leverage from the baseline. The long handle also suits two-handed backhands. Look elsewhere if you want the quickest hand speed or the most explosive response at the net. One reviewer specifically noted that it may not deliver the same pop as a power-focused paddle.

- Players wanting extra reach on wide balls
- Two-handed backhand players who prefer a longer handle
- Players moving to a first carbon-face paddle
- Baseline players who pair topspin drives with controlled shots
- Players who want stable touch without an especially heavy paddle
Look elsewhere if
- Players seeking maximum pop on every swing
- Players who need the fastest possible hand speed at the kitchen
- Players sensitive to small weight differences between paddles
- Players who prefer a shorter handle for compact one-handed swings
