Overview
The paddle combines a T700 raw carbon-fiber face with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Its 8.1-ounce weight sits in the mid-weight range, while the 16.4-inch length gives you useful reach. The imitation-leather non-slip grip should help maintain control during longer sessions.
The thick core and carbon face give this paddle a stable, controlled character. Reviewers find that it dampens vibration, supports an expansive sweet spot, and produces consistent spin. The product description emphasizes power, but the review places this paddle's main strength in touch and control rather than maximum power.
Play style
This paddle fits a patient soft game with quick hands at the kitchen. The 16mm core favors dinks, resets, and controlled placement, while the carbon surface supports spin on rolls and topspin drives.
The 8.1-ounce build should feel fast during exchanges without becoming extremely light on drives. Its 16.4-inch length can help with reach from the baseline and around the kitchen. Look elsewhere if you want a distinctly head-heavy paddle for powerful finishing shots.
Best for
- Players making a first upgrade from entry-level gear
- Players who want softer touch on dinks and resets
- Players who value quick hands during kitchen exchanges
- Players who use topspin or slice and want a spin-friendly face
Look elsewhere if
- Beginners who want the simplest, least demanding paddle
- Players seeking maximum raw power from a thick, control-focused core
- Players who prefer a very light paddle for effortless maneuverability
- Players who need a clearly specified grip size or handle length before buying
