The Engage Pursuit Alpha 16mm is a thermoformed, elongated paddle, 16.5 x 7.5 in, for those who want control and consistency without losing power. The TrueStrike polymer core is 16 mm, which gives a softer, more stable touch on dropshots, blocks and resets. The face is Friction Fiber carbon, with longer-lasting grip, and the weight ranges from 7.8 to 8.2 oz, with a 5.5 in handle.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%66
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.
