The Bread & Butter Fat Boy 16mm is the brand's control wide-body, with a 16 x 8 inch face and an oversized sweet spot. The face blends T700 carbon and an aramid weave, which brings plenty of spin and pop, over a 16 mm high-density honeycomb polypropylene core in patented thermoformed construction. It weighs 8.15 to 8.3 oz, has a swing weight of 110, a twist weight of 7.19, a 5.3-inch octagonal handle, and a 4.25 grip. It is stable and fast in net exchanges, with more ball exit than an ordinary control paddle.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%69
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.
