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.
Face
Carbon fiber faces are stiff and light, generally favoring control and a consistent response.

These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.

How it compares

  • Other cores: 152 of the 3,261 approved paddles with a listed core material (5%).
  • 1 of 24 approved other-core paddles first approved in 2023.
  • Carbon fiber faces: 1,614 of the 3,261 approved paddles with a listed face material (49%).
