It is the thicker, more controllable of the two paddles made with Andrea Koop, with precision and spin and enough pop for any opponent. It is more of an all-court paddle than a pure control tool, in the standard shape, with a raw carbon surface, a long 5.5 in handle and a dampened 14.3 mm core. It weighs 7.7 oz.

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. ## Store reviews We have not gathered store ratings for this racquet yet.
