The BluCore core is all EPP foam, a construction the brand says eliminates core sinking and delamination, with a lifetime core warranty. The face is 18K carbon in a 3D triaxial weave, the core is 16 mm, and the shape measures 16.2 x 7.8 inches, with a 5.7-inch handle, a 4 1/8 grip, an average weight of 8.0 oz, and a 235 mm balance. It delivers strong pop with the control of a hybrid paddle.
