JOOLA Agassi GRAF Champion

This paddle uses a 12mm core, fiberglass face, and elongated 16.5-inch shape. At 7.8 ounces, it stays fairly manageable while the 7.5-inch width and extended shape give you extra reach. The 5.5-inch handle also provides a familiar lever for tennis-style swings. Its 4.12-inch grip circumference fits many hands, though smaller hands should check the fit carefully.

The elongated Agassi shape extends the sweet spot toward the upper edge and corners. That can help when your contact point moves around, especially while learning. Reviewers describe it as comfortable, stable, and forgiving, while one tester found the weight tiring during longer rallies. The thin core and fiberglass face point toward a lively response rather than a muted, touch-first feel.

This paddle fits players who like assertive drives, quick swings, and extra reach from the back of the court. The 12mm core gives it a poppier response than a thicker control-focused paddle, so it can reward confident swings. The fiberglass face is also described as responsive and capable of generating spin.

It can still handle dinks and resets, but soft shots demand more control from your hands. If you are learning placement or coming from tennis, the extended sweet spot and longer handle may make full swings feel natural. Players who prioritize maximum dwell time and very soft kitchen play should look for a thicker-core option.
