Overview
The Quartz uses a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a raw T300 carbon fiber face, and a one-piece unibody construction. Its 7.9-ounce weight and 108 swing weight make it quick to move, especially during fast exchanges at the kitchen. The 16-inch length gives you standard reach, while the 7.9-inch width keeps the shape fairly compact.
The carbon surface supports strong spin, and reviewers describe the paddle as controlled and soft around the net. Its square shape can help with stability, but opinions differ on forgiveness: the brand calls the sweet spot oversized, while independent reviews find it tighter than expected. The 5-inch handle is short, so check your grip needs before buying.
Play style
This paddle favors placement, control, and quick hands over heavy power. The 15mm core and T300 raw carbon face suit dinks, drops, resets, and topspin drives. Reviewers consistently praise its spin and maneuverability, while noting that it does not produce the same easy pace as a power-focused paddle.
Its 16-inch length provides useful reach for a standard-shaped paddle, but the short handle offers less room for a two-handed backhand. The low swing weight helps at the kitchen and on quick defensive reactions. If your game depends on forceful baseline drives or easy put-away power, you may want a livelier option.
Best for
- Players making a first upgrade from a basic paddle
- Players who prioritize soft hands, drops, and resets
- Players who want strong topspin from a raw carbon surface
- Players who value quick hand speed at the kitchen
- Players who prefer a short, compact handle
Look elsewhere if
- Players who need easy power on drives and serves
- Two-handed backhand players who prefer a longer handle
- Players who want the broadest possible sweet spot
- Players seeking a heavier, more stable feel through contact
Strengths
