Overview
The paddle uses a 16mm honeycomb core and a T800 raw carbon-fiber face. That combination points toward a balanced mix of stability, touch, and ball grip. The 7.9-ounce listed weight keeps it manageable for quick exchanges without making it an ultra-light paddle.
Its 16.42-inch length adds reach, while the 7.4-inch width keeps the shape relatively narrow. The 4.25-inch grip circumference suits many standard-size hands. Player comments describe it as easy to hit, spin-friendly, and comfortable for two-handed use. One published listing gives a different weight, so check the actual paddle weight before buying.
Play style
This paddle fits an all-court player who wants to combine firm baseline drives with spin and controlled net play. The elongated shape gives you useful reach on volleys and defensive shots, while the 16mm core should favor a steadier response for blocks and soft shots.
The carbon-fiber face is suited to topspin and slice. Players specifically report good spin and power. Choose it if you want a longer handle for two-handed backhands or big swings from the baseline. Look elsewhere if your priority is maximum forgiveness from a widebody shape or a distinctly control-first feel.
Best for
- Players who want more reach on volleys and defensive shots
- Two-handed backhand players who prefer a longer handle
- Baseline players who rely on topspin, slice, and firm drives
- Players seeking a first upgrade with a light, manageable listed weight
Look elsewhere if
- Players who need the widest possible sweet spot
- Players with sore elbows who need to verify the paddle's actual weight and balance
- Players who want a strongly control-first paddle for soft kitchen exchanges
- Players who prefer a shorter, wider paddle shape
Strengths
- T800 raw carbon fiber is associated with useful ball grip for spin
- The 16mm core supports a steadier blend of power and control
- The 16.42-inch elongated shape adds reach and supports two-handed shots
- Players report that it is easy to hit and produces good spin
- The listed 7.9-ounce weight keeps the paddle relatively manageable
Things to consider
- The elongated 7.4-inch shape may offer less forgiveness than a wider paddle

- A published listing gives a different weight, so confirm the actual weight before buying
- The reported balance of power and control may not suit players seeking maximum touch
