It has a raw unidirectional Toray T700 carbon face with a PT-07 fiberglass stabilizing layer and a large-cell polypropylene honeycomb core, cold-pressed, with QRT technology, Paddletek's most powerful. It measures 16.25 x 7.75 inches, weighs 7.8 to 8.1 oz and has a 5.5 inch handle with a 4 1/4 grip. Steel weights on the frame increase stability and sweet spot, with a swing weight of 115 to 120.

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. ## Buyer reviews Average of the ratings given at each store, weighted by how many reviews each one has. Store ratings may reflect the store experience (shipping, service), not only the racquet. 4.8 4.8 out of 5 16 reviews - Pickleball Central 5.0 · 7 reviews - Amazon 4.6 · 9 reviews ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
