Version · 2 optionsShogun 16mmChange

The Shogun 16mm was voted the best all-court elongated paddle of 2024 by The Pickleball Studio. The face uses a new T700 carbon weave with electrodeposited polyester, with a metallic look, which gives power and pop similar to the Filth's, but with more control. The core is 16 mm high-density polypropylene, in patented thermoformed construction. It measures 16.5 x 7.375 inches, has a 5.5-inch octagonal handle with a 4.3 circumference, and weighs 8.0 to 8.3 oz, with a swing weight of 120 and a twist weight of 6.18.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%72
Approval from players35%65

The RR Score is not yet a precise figure. It summarizes the data we have today (specs and reviews) and changes as more information comes in. A low score does not mean the racquet is bad and does not reflect its technical quality: often it is just missing data or reviews. The specs combine several sources and may have discrepancies: check the manufacturer's website and the store where you buy.
