Overview

The E16 combines an 8-ounce static weight with an elongated 16.5-by-7.5-inch shape and a 5.5-inch handle. That extra length helps you reach wide kitchen shots and add leverage on overheads. Its 16mm EPP and EVA foam core is designed for a softer, more cushioned response than a thinner paddle.

The carbon fiber and fiberglass face uses a stiff three-layer construction. Review testing found above-average serve speed and spin, with a neutral balance and near-average swing weight. The 16mm core and foam construction should help absorb impact, while the elongated profile gives you useful reach without making the paddle especially heavy.

Play style

This paddle favors aggressive play over delicate control. Reviewers found strong pop, above-average serve speed, and a power-leaning response. It fits big swings from the baseline, fast serves, overheads, and putaway attempts.

The elongated shape supports reach and spin generation, while the 16mm core provides a softer feel. However, one review measured below-average control, so you should already manage your power before relying on it for soft hands at the kitchen. Players who like driving first and resetting second will get more from it than players seeking a muted, control-first response.

Best for

  • Players who want extra reach on wide kitchen shots and overheads
  • Baseline players who generate power but want more serve speed
  • Aggressive doubles players who attack with drives and putaways
  • Players seeking a softer feel than a thinner power paddle
  • Players who want spin from an elongated carbon and fiberglass face

Look elsewhere if

  • Players who need maximum control for third-shot drops and resets
  • Players who struggle to keep powerful shots from sailing long
  • Players who prefer a compact shape for quick kitchen exchanges
  • Players specifically seeking a lightweight, low-pop control paddle

Strengths

  • Strong power profile, with testing showing above-average serve speed
  • Elongated 16.5-inch shape adds reach and leverage
  • 16mm foam core is intended to provide a plush, cushioned response
  • Carbon and fiberglass face produced above-average measured spin
  • Foam construction is described as more forgiving on off-center hits

Things to consider

  • Control testing was below average, so soft-game consistency may require adjustment
  • Its elongated shape may feel less natural in rapid kitchen exchanges
  • The 8-ounce weight and longer shape may not suit players with elbow or shoulder discomfort
  • Approval information conflicts across listings; verify the current sanction status before tournament play
  • The 5.5-inch handle may feel short if you rely on a large two-handed grip
