What these specs mean
- Core thickness
- Thinner cores (about 13 mm and under) typically feel firmer and send the ball off the face faster: more power and a crisper feel, with less touch on soft shots.
- Core material
- Polypropylene honeycomb is the most widely used core. The plastic cells absorb impact, giving a quiet, soft and forgiving feel that suits control and touch.
- Face
- Carbon fiber faces are stiff and light, generally favoring control and a consistent response.
- Combination
- A thin honeycomb core is a classic power build: firm and fast off the face, with less dwell time for touch shots.
These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.
