7.8-8.2oz
Paddle Weight

  • The paddle weight is important to support your playing style. Here are paddles of each weight class and their benefits.
  • Light Paddles (7.8 – 8.2 ounces) – Focus on maneuverability and control. Popular option for players who benefit from quicker reactions and placement over power.
  • Mid-Weight Paddles (8.1 ounces) – Balance between control and power. Popular option for players who want a mix of both control and power.
  • Heavy Paddles (8+ ounces) – Focus on power. The added weight helps drive the ball with less effort. Solid option for players who prefer additional power.

113
Swing Weight

  • This is how heavy the paddle feels when swung, which isn’t exactly related to the actual weight. 
  • Higher swing weight – Provides more power 
  • Lower swing weight – Makes it easier to handle for quicker reactions and greater control.

Polymer Honeycomb
Core Material

  • Core Material influences the paddle’s benefits in terms of power and/or control.. 
  • Nomex – Best surface for power. Solid for players who like a power and aggressive playstyle. 
  • Aluminum – Balance of control with power. Ideal for players that prioritize a more balanced game. 
  • Polymer – Best surface for control. Solid for players who prefer a controlled playstyle.
  • Foam – Solid control and absorbs power. Solid for players who prefer a controlled playstyle.

Hybrid
Paddle Shape

  • Elongated – Longer for extra reach with a narrower face which reduces the sweet spot. This also shifts the balance towards the top of the paddle which can increase swing weight and power but may be harder to maneuver.   
  • Standard – The “classic” paddle shape to give a balance of power and control with a generous sweet spot. The weight is evenly distributed, making it easier to maneuver.
  • Wide Body – Have a broader face, which provides a larger sweet spot. 
  • Tear Drop – Offers a larger sweet spot like wide body but with a slightly elongated reach. Good middle-ground for a blend of power and control with comfortable reach.
  • Hybrid – Designed to combine the best features of two or more different shapes. They might have the length of an elongated paddle with the sweet spot of a wide body, or the reach of a teardrop with the balance of a standard.
