Overview
The paddle uses a T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face over a Rev-Power Polymer Core. Its 7.7–8.0 ounce weight sits in a manageable range, while the 16.4-inch elongated shape favors reach and leverage. The 7.4-inch width gives you a narrower hitting area than a wider-body paddle, so consistent contact matters more.
The 13 mm core supports a lively, power-oriented character rather than a thick-core, cushioning feel. The seller lists perimeter weight distribution and injected foam around the core edge, which should support torsional stability and a larger sweet spot. One buyer reported stronger accuracy, spin, and ball response, while another found the paddle less appealing in colder conditions.
Play style
Choose it for baseline swings, aggressive drives, and serves where extra reach and rebound matter. The elongated shape and 5.75-inch grip give you useful leverage for two-handed backhands and shots taken farther from your body.
The raw carbon face supports spin, while the thinner core keeps the response lively. If your priority is soft hands, resets, and touch at the kitchen, a thicker or more control-focused paddle may feel easier to manage.
Best for
- Players who want more reach on drives and defensive shots
- Baseline hitters seeking a lively, power-oriented response
- Players moving to a first elongated paddle
- Two-handed backhand players who value extra handle length
- Players who want raw carbon for added spin potential
Look elsewhere if
- Players whose main need is soft, cushioned kitchen control
- Players who prefer a wide paddle with the largest possible hitting area
- Players sensitive to a lively rebound off the face
- Players who want the same feel across noticeably different temperatures
Strengths
- Elongated 16.4-inch shape adds reach and leverage
- T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face supports spin and firm ball response
- 7.7–8.0 ounce weight balances power with manageable swing weight
- Perimeter weighting and edge foam are intended to improve stability and sweet-spot size
- A buyer reported better accuracy, spin, and ball response after switching to it
Things to consider
- The 7.4-inch width provides less surface area than a wide-body design
- A 13 mm core may feel less cushioned for resets and soft kitchen shots
- The lively response can demand more touch on short shots
- One buyer preferred a different paddle in colder conditions
- Confirm whether the elongated XL shape fits your preferred reach and swing timing
