Overview
The Power X combines a 100% foam core with a T700 raw carbon fiber face. Its 16mm thickness and roughly 8-ounce weight point to a stable, substantial feel rather than a quick, ultralight paddle. The hybrid shape measures 16.1 by 7.6 inches, balancing reach with more width than an elongated design.
Its 5.75-inch handle provides room for a two-handed backhand. The 4.25-inch circumference is a standard size for many players, but check your preferred grip dimensions before buying. Reviewers disagree about its power: one found it less powerful than true power paddles, while another described its response as extremely hot.
Play style
The Power X suits players who want spin and stability for an all-court game, especially on baseline drives. Its T700 carbon face has a textured surface, and reviewers describe the spin as above average. The foam construction also produces noticeable pop, though one review found that deep drives needed a fuller swing.
At the kitchen, the 16mm core and hybrid shape favor a steadier profile than a thin paddle. However, the lively response may require more touch on drops and resets. Choose it if you want pace and spin without the reach-focused geometry of a fully elongated paddle.
Best for
- Players wanting a stable paddle for baseline drives and put-away shots
- Players who value a textured carbon face for spin
- Two-handed backhand players needing extra handle length
- Players seeking a hybrid shape with both reach and width
Look elsewhere if
- Players who want maximum power from compact swings
- Players who prefer a very quick, lightweight paddle at the kitchen
- Players who find lively pop difficult to control on drops and resets
- Players who need the maximum reach of an elongated shape
Strengths
- The 100% foam core provides a solid construction
- The T700 raw carbon face has a textured surface for spin
- The 16mm core and 8-ounce weight support a substantial, stable profile
- The 5.75-inch handle provides room for a two-handed backhand

Things to consider
- Power feedback is mixed, so do not expect effortless deep drives
- The lively response may make soft drops and resets harder to control
- Its 8-ounce build may feel slower than a lighter paddle during quick exchanges
- Check the 4.25-inch grip circumference if you need a smaller or larger handle
- The hybrid shape offers less reach than a fully elongated paddle
