Overview
The DUO combines an EPP center with EVA foam in its DuoFoam Ridge Core. Reviewers describe the result as crisp but controlled, with useful dwell time and a balance of power and softness. The foam construction is also intended to support stability and consistency.
Its raw T700 carbon fiber face supports spin and a connected response. The hybrid shape measures 16.25 inches long and 7.75 inches wide, giving you some reach without the narrower feel of an elongated paddle. At 7.8 to 8.1 ounces, it has enough mass for stable contact, while the 5.9-inch handle gives room for a two-handed backhand.
Play style
This paddle fits an all-court game that mixes baseline drives, counters, and controlled kitchen exchanges. Reviewers place it in the low-to-mid power range, with enough pop to attack while remaining manageable during resets and soft shots.
The raw carbon face and foam core support spin, dwell time, and ball shaping. The hybrid profile offers useful reach, but players who want maximum leverage from a longer paddle may prefer an elongated shape. Its weight range should also help on blocks and counters, though players who need the quickest possible hand speed may want something lighter.
Best for
- Players moving into a power paddle but still prioritizing soft-touch control
- Baseline players who want stronger drives and spin
- All-court players who use counters and resets
- Players wanting more reach than a widebody without a fully elongated shape
- Players who prefer a two-handed backhand handle
Look elsewhere if
- Players seeking the lightest possible paddle for rapid hand battles
- Players who want maximum reach from an elongated profile
- Players who strongly prefer a low-power, touch-first paddle
- Players who dislike the feel or sound associated with foam-core paddles
Strengths
- EPP and EVA foam are designed to combine structure, stability, softness, and dwell time
- Raw T700 carbon fiber supports spin and a connected response
- Hybrid dimensions provide reach while retaining more width than an elongated paddle
- Reviewers find its power accessible and controllable during drives, counters, and soft play
- The 7.8-to-8.1-ounce weight range can support stable blocks and contact
Things to consider
- The 7.8-to-8.1-ounce range may feel slower than a lighter paddle during fast hand exchanges
- The hybrid shape gives up some reach compared with a fully elongated paddle
- Its power profile may not suit players who want a purely touch-oriented response
- Check the exact model and shape before buying, since DUO versions have different dimensions and weights
- Foam-core feel and sound can differ from the response of a conventional honeycomb-core paddle
