Overview
This paddle combines an elongated 16.42-inch shape with a 16mm core and a T800 Raw, 3K, and 18K carbon-fiber surface. Its 8.1-ounce listed weight keeps it in a manageable range, while the 7.4-inch width leaves less room for forgiveness than a wider shape. The 4.25-inch grip circumference suits players who prefer a medium-sized handle.
The long handle and elongated face add reach and support two-handed backhands. Reviews describe the paddle as balanced and easy to adjust during fast rallies. The textured carbon surface is intended to help grip the ball for spin, while the thicker core favors a steadier response than a thin, highly explosive core. It is also USA Pickleball approved.
Play style
Choose this paddle if you want extra reach for baseline drives, returns, and two-handed backhands. The elongated shape gives you more leverage and court coverage, but its narrower profile may demand cleaner contact than a widebody paddle.
Its 16mm core and carbon surface point toward a control-friendly attacking style. Reviews praise its spin, accuracy, and soft-shot control, while also noting that it is not the most aggressive choice for raw power. It fits players who build points with topspin drives, drops, and dinks rather than swinging hard on every ball.

Look elsewhere if
