Know before you buy
The 16.5-inch length provides extra reach for stretching to reach wide shots and adds leverage for more power on serves. Because it is elongated, you may notice a slightly different swing weight compared to traditional wide-body paddles.
Yes, the 5.5-inch handle length is specifically designed to accommodate two-handed backhands, giving you plenty of room to comfortably place both hands on the grip.
The edgeless construction removes the plastic guard found on most paddles, which effectively increases the usable surface area of the sweet spot and prevents mishits caused by the edge guard.
This core is engineered for a soft, dampened feel that prioritizes touch and control over raw power. It excels at absorbing vibrations, which helps reduce hand fatigue during long matches.
Yes, the proprietary Fusion Carbon Fiber face features a textured finish that grips the ball effectively. This allows you to generate significant spin on both serves and groundstrokes.
This paddle is engineered for advanced players who prioritize precision and touch. Beginners may find the elongated shape and specific weighting less forgiving than a standard wide-body paddle.
