The Pursuit Pro1 Innovation 12.7mm is the thin-core, more powerful version of the Pro1 Innovation, with SpinCore technology, which concentrates mass in the handle and the sweet spot to accelerate the face and generate more spin and speed. It has a progressive elongated shape of 16.6 x 7.4 inches, a 6-inch handle for the two-handed backhand and a 4 1/4 grip. The face is raw carbon with an inner layer, the core is Power Flex polymer with Vortex Barrier in the frame, and the weight is between 7.8 and 8.2 oz. It is a lively paddle with a lot of pop.

How the RR Score was calculated

CriterionWeightScore
Specs65%65
Approval from players35%70

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.

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.
