GoodUpdated on 10/03/2026

The Invader 16mm is Bread & Butter's hybrid paddle that combines the T700 carbon weave with electrodeposited polyester, the same as the Shogun, with a fiberglass layer that increases pop. The core is 16 mm high-density polypropylene, in patented thermoformed construction, and the octagonal handle has tape that dampens vibration. It measures 16.2 x 7.6 inches, has a 5.3-inch handle with a 4.25 circumference and weighs 8.0 to 8.2 oz, with a swing weight of 116 to 118 and a twist weight of 6.86. It has the USAP seal.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%68
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.
