Overview
This paddle pairs a polypropylene honeycomb core with a rough-grit carbon face. Its 16-by-8-inch edgeless shape is designed to provide a larger sweet spot, while the 7.5-ounce listed weight keeps it quick in your hand. The corded grip has a 4.25-inch circumference.
The long, standard-width shape gives you useful reach without making the paddle feel bulky. Its 10mm core and carbon face point toward a lively, power-focused character. One review found it swift and maneuverable, with noticeably more power and spin than other paddles they had used. The paddle is USA Pickleball approved.
Play style
Choose it if you like creating offense with big serves, forehands, and drives. A reviewer found the rough surface especially effective for adding spin to forehands and serves, while the paddle still felt fast through the hand.
The lighter build should appeal to players who value quick swings and easy maneuverability. Its 16-inch length can help when you want extra reach, but players who prioritize a softer, more controlled kitchen game may prefer a thicker, more control-oriented design.
