The elongated shape measures 16.45 x 7.44 inches, has a 5.5-inch octagonal handle and comes in midweight, 7.7 to 8.1 oz, and lightweight, 7.3 to 7.6 oz, versions. The average swing weight is 114. The rough face generates a lot of spin, the core absorbs vibration well and the result is a control paddle with reach and enough power to attack.

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. 5.0 5.0 out of 5 1 review - Pickleball Central 5.0 · 1 review ## Community 0 review(s) and comment(s) No reviews yet.
