Know before you buy
The raw carbon fiber surface creates a textured, gritty feel that grips the ball upon contact. This significantly increases your ability to generate spin on serves and drives, giving you more control over the ball's trajectory.
While the elongated shape is designed to maximize reach and power, it can feel slightly less forgiving than a standard wide-body paddle. If you are a beginner, you may need a short adjustment period to get used to the slightly smaller sweet spot, but the performance benefits are worth the learning curve.
Yes, the extended 5.5-inch handle is specifically designed to accommodate both hands comfortably. This extra length provides better leverage for two-handed backhands, which can add significant power and stability to your defensive and offensive shots.
The 16mm core is considered a thicker profile, which generally prioritizes control and vibration dampening over raw speed. This thickness helps absorb impact, making the paddle feel more stable and consistent, especially on touch shots and resets at the kitchen line.
At 8.0 ounces, the GX2 Power falls into the mid-weight category. It offers a balanced feel that provides enough mass to drive the ball with authority without feeling too heavy or sluggish during fast-paced volleys.
