It has a raw unidirectional PT-700 carbon face, a PT-07 stabilizing layer and a 14.3 mm Smart Response polymer honeycomb core. It measures 16.45 x 7.5 inches, weighs 7.8 to 8.2 oz and uses a 5.3-inch handle with a 4 1/4 grip. The extra reach helps on groundstrokes and the backhand, while the soft core makes dinks and drops more reliable. Price shown at the store This store only shows the price on its own site.

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. 4.5 4.5 out of 5 38 reviews - Pickleball Central 4.6 · 21 reviews - Amazon 4.3 · 17 reviews ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
