A signature pickleball paddle of professional Jay Devilliers, with a modern shape and an extended 5.5 in handle, good for the two-handed backhand. It has a V-Skin face of 7 layers of carbon and glass composite, TeXtreme carbon V-Strut strips and a 13 mm StateraCore honeycomb polypropylene core. It is 16.5 in long, weighs 8.3 oz on average (range of 8.1 to 8.5 oz) and has a 4 1/4 in circumference. The balance makes it feel lighter than it is.

How the RR Score was calculated

Criterion	Weight	Score
Specs	65%	64
Approval from players	35%	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.
