Know before you buy
The suspended core separates the internal structure from the frame, allowing the core to flex independently. This creates a trampoline-like effect that stores energy upon impact and releases it for more explosive power on drives and volleys without sacrificing control.
The GX2 Power Hybrid is designed to bridge the gap. While it is engineered for explosive power, the extended ball dwell time provided by the carbon fiber construction gives you the touch and spin control needed for precise drop shots and resets.
The elongated shape provides a longer reach, which is advantageous for covering more court and generating extra leverage on your swing. It is a popular choice for intermediate to advanced players who want a balance of reach and maneuverability.
Yes, the 3K Woven Raw Carbon is highly durable and designed to maintain its texture and responsiveness through heavy use. Unlike some coated surfaces that lose their grit quickly, this raw material offers consistent spin potential for the life of the paddle.
This paddle is specifically tuned for intermediate to advanced players. Its performance characteristics, particularly the power-focused suspended core, require a more developed swing and consistent contact point to fully utilize.
The 16mm thickness provides a stable, plush feel at impact, which helps dampen vibrations and improves control. It offers a more forgiving sweet spot compared to thinner paddles, making it easier to manage pace during fast-paced exchanges.
