Overview
This paddle combines a 16mm Tectonic Core with ProPulsion Foam and a raw carbon fiber face. At 8.15 ounces, it sits in a manageable midweight range. The 16.3-inch hybrid shape adds reach while keeping a balanced profile. Its 7.7-inch width and 4.12-inch grip circumference may suit players who prefer a standard, compact hand fit.
The thicker core and foam construction support a softer, more connected response. Reviewers describe the Coral as stable, forgiving, and less hollow than comparable foam paddles. The raw carbon surface is intended to provide spin and a crisp contact point. The Rainbow edition is USAP approved and comes in a limited one-time release.
Play style
This is an all-court paddle that leans toward control rather than maximum power. Reviewers found enough pop for counters and drives, while the softer response helped with drops, dinks, and resets. Its stability should also help during blocks and fast exchanges.
The hybrid shape gives you more reach than a wider paddle without the longer feel of a fully elongated model. The raw carbon face supports spin, and reviewers found the paddle approachable for players with decent touch. If you want the biggest possible power boost, a more power-focused paddle may fit better.
Best for
- Players wanting a first serious paddle upgrade with forgiving control
- Players who need softer resets, drops, and dinks
- All-court players who mix kitchen play with counters and baseline drives
- Players wanting extra reach without choosing a fully elongated shape
- Players with decent touch who want a stable foam paddle
Look elsewhere if
- Players seeking maximum power from every swing
- Beginners who regularly hit soft shots long and need less pop
- Players who prefer a wider paddle for maximum forgiveness
- Players who dislike a 4.12-inch grip circumference or 5.5-inch handle
- Players wanting a readily available standard-color paddle rather than a limited edition
Strengths
- Stable, forgiving response supported by the 16mm foam-based core
- Soft, connected feel for drops, dinks, and resets
- Raw carbon face that supports spin and crisp contact
- Hybrid 16.3-inch shape adds useful reach while retaining all-court balance
- Reviewers found the surface durable and the paddle steady during blocks and counters
Things to consider
- Its power is controlled rather than aggressive, so hard-hitting players may want more pop
- The hybrid shape offers less width than a widebody paddle
- Check the 4.12-inch grip circumference and 5.5-inch handle against your hand preference
- The Rainbow edition is a limited one-time release
- Reviewers disagree slightly on its power level, placing it from moderate all-court power to the upper end of that range
