Overview

You get a fiberglass composite face over a 15 mm polypropylene honeycomb core. The fiberglass gives you a softer response and easy power, while the thicker core supports a steadier blend of control and feel. At 230 g, the paddle stays easy to swing, and its 5-inch ergonomic foam handle gives you a comfortable, cushioned grip.

The 15.75-inch length and 7.87-inch width give you a broad hitting area without making the paddle cumbersome. HEAD says the wider body improves consistency and quick reactions at the net. Reviewers also find it forgiving on off-center hits and reasonably maneuverable, though the smooth fiberglass face gives you limited bite on the ball.

Play style

Choose this paddle if you want easy depth from the baseline without needing a demanding swing. The fiberglass face gives you noticeable pop, while the 15 mm core helps soften the response during blocks, resets, and other controlled shots.

You will find it more comfortable for straightforward drives and quick exchanges than for heavy topspin or highly precise dinks. The shorter 5-inch handle keeps the paddle quick in your hand, but you may prefer a longer handle if you use a two-handed backhand. The smooth face also makes it a poor choice if developing spin is your priority.

Best for

  • You want a first paddle upgrade with easy power and a forgiving hitting area
  • You want quick reactions during volleys and fast net exchanges
  • You need help generating depth from the baseline
  • You prefer a lighter, easy-swinging paddle
  • You are learning placement and all-court shot technique

Look elsewhere if

  • You are focused on creating heavy topspin
  • You rely on a two-handed backhand and want extra handle length
  • You want fine control on short kitchen shots
  • You prefer a heavier paddle for more plow-through

Strengths

  • You get easy power and a softer response from the fiberglass composite face
  • You get a balanced mix of control, feel, and power from the 15 mm core
  • The 230 g weight helps you swing quickly and maneuver the paddle easily
  • The wider hitting area makes off-center contact more forgiving for you
  • The ergonomic foam handle is designed to make contact more comfortable

Things to consider

  • The smooth fiberglass face gives you limited help with spin
  • The paddle's pop may make very fine dinks and short-game control more difficult for you
  • The 5-inch handle may feel short if you use a two-handed backhand
  • You may find the 230 g build lacks the extra mass you want for heavier drives
  • Check the grip size before buying because listings show different grip options
