Overview
The paddle combines a 16mm polymer core with a raw 12K T700 carbon fiber face. Its 8-ounce listed weight keeps it in a manageable range, while the 16.53-inch length and elongated handle add reach. The 7.4-inch width gives up some face area compared with wider shapes.
Reviewers describe strong spin and a forgiving sweet spot, but opinions on the overall feel are less consistent. One reviewer measured a T700 version at 8.5 ounces instead of the listed 8 ounces and found the grip inexpensive. Check the exact version and finished weight before buying.
Play style
The raw carbon face suits players who use topspin drives, slices, and other spin-heavy shots. Reviews also describe good control and a large sweet spot, making the paddle useful when you want softer placement at the kitchen without giving up baseline reach.
The elongated shape and handle favor two-handed backhands and extended reach. The 16mm core should appeal to players prioritizing touch and forgiveness over a very explosive response. If you mainly want maximum power, this may not be the clearest fit.
Best for
- Players who rely on topspin drives and controlled slices
- Players wanting more reach on volleys and two-handed backhands
- Players upgrading to a carbon paddle for added spin
- Players who value a forgiving sweet spot and softer touch
Look elsewhere if
- Players who want the most explosive baseline power
- Players sensitive to grip quality or weight variation
- Players who prefer a shorter, wider paddle shape
- Players seeking a clearly verified finished weight
Strengths
- Raw carbon fiber face supports strong spin potential, according to reviewers
- 16mm polymer core is associated with control and forgiveness
- Elongated 16.53-inch shape adds reach and suits two-handed backhands

- USAPA approval supports tournament use
Things to consider
- One reviewer measured a T700 version at 8.5 ounces rather than the listed 8 ounces
- A reviewer found the grip felt inexpensive
- Reviewers disagree on the paddle's overall playability and control
- The elongated 7.4-inch width may offer less face area than a wider paddle
- Confirm whether the listing is for the T700, T700 plus 12K, or another version
