Overview
This paddle weighs 7.8 ounces and uses a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core with an Aramid surface. That combination gives it a substantial, stable build without making it especially heavy. The 16.5-inch standard shape offers useful reach, while the 7.5-inch width keeps the profile relatively manageable in quick exchanges.
The Aramid surface is designed to provide a softer feel, impact resistance, and vibration dampening. Reviewers describe the response as soft and plush, with a forgiving sweet spot. The 4.25-inch grip circumference and Feel-Tec Pure Grip handle should suit players who prefer a familiar, secure grip. It is USAP approved.
Play style
This paddle fits a control-first game. The 16mm core and Aramid surface favor touch, blocks, resets, and dinks rather than explosive power. A reviewer describes the Scorpeus Double Vision as forgiving and soft, while other Scorpeus evaluations emphasize defense and kitchen control.
Choose it if you build points with placement and soft hands. The 7.8-ounce weight should remain manageable during fast hands exchanges, and the 16.5-inch length adds reach for defensive shots. Look elsewhere if your game depends on big baseline drives or a lively response on every swing. The available evaluation describes it as relatively low in power.
Best for
- Players prioritizing soft hands, resets, and dinks at the kitchen
- Defensive players who want a stable paddle for blocks
- Players seeking a first control-focused paddle upgrade
- Players who want added reach without moving to a heavy paddle
Look elsewhere if
- Players who want maximum power on baseline drives
- Players seeking a highly lively, aggressive response
- Players who rely heavily on spin
- Players who often prefer a firm, crisp feel over a softer response
Strengths
- The 16mm polypropylene core supports a stable, softer response.
- The Aramid surface is intended to improve touch, control, durability, and impact resistance.
- Reviewers describe the paddle as forgiving, plush, and well suited to defensive control.
- The 7.8-ounce weight balances stability with manageable hand speed.
- The 16.5-inch length provides useful reach for defensive coverage.
Things to consider
- The available evaluation describes the Scorpeus as light on power, so hard hitters may want more pop.
- The softer response may feel too muted if you prefer a crisp, explosive paddle.
- The 16.5-inch length may feel less maneuverable than a shorter paddle during rapid exchanges.
- Check the 4.25-inch grip circumference before buying if you prefer a smaller or larger handle.
- The paddle is better suited to control than spin-focused play.
