RR ScoreUpdated on 2026-10-02
The HEAD Spark Elite is an entry-level paddle from the Spark line, made for those just starting out who want something light and comfortable. It has a fiberglass face over a 13 mm honeycomb polypropylene core, measures 408 x 199 mm, about 16 x 7.875 inches, and weighs 230 g on average, or 8.1 oz. The HydroSorb Pro grip absorbs sweat well and gives a soft feel. The fiberglass helps with ball exit and the thin core keeps the paddle responsive, which makes the first shots easier.

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.
