Overview
The Quartz uses a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a raw T300 carbon face, and a one-piece construction. Its 16-inch by 7.9-inch shape gives you a broad hitting area, while the 7.9-ounce weight and 108 swing weight keep it quick through the air. The five-inch handle is shorter than average and has a square 4.25-inch grip shape.
That combination points toward easy maneuverability and control rather than a heavy, forceful feel. WearTesters found off-center hits consistent and described the sweet spot as large, while other reviewers found the sweet spot tighter than expected. Published spin measurements also disagree, so treat its spin as a potential strength rather than a guarantee.
Play style
This paddle fits a soft, placement-focused game. Reviewers consistently describe good control, and the low swing weight helps you react quickly during kitchen exchanges. The raw carbon face can also help with topspin, especially when you are moving up from a basic paddle.
Power is the main tradeoff. The Quartz is unlikely to satisfy players who rely on deep drives, heavy serves, or quick put-away shots. Its lighter build helps fast hands, but the shorter handle gives you less leverage and reach than an elongated paddle.
Best for
- A first paddle upgrade from a basic starter set
- Players developing dinks, resets, and soft kitchen shots
- Players who want quick hands during kitchen exchanges
- Players who value maneuverability over maximum drive power
Look elsewhere if
- Players who need strong power for baseline drives and serves
- Players who want an elongated handle for extra reach and leverage
- Players who need the widest possible margin on mishits
- Experienced players moving up from a powerful premium paddle
Strengths
- Low 108 swing weight makes it fast and easy to maneuver

Things to consider
- Power is limited compared with more aggressive or thermoformed paddles
