What these specs mean
- Core thickness
- A 16 mm core is the most common choice for control. The extra depth absorbs more impact, which tends to make dinks and resets easier to keep low, with a little less pop.
- 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.
- Shape
- A widebody shape maximizes face width for the largest sweet spot, giving up some reach.
- Face
- Fiberglass faces flex more than carbon, which usually adds pop and power at the cost of some control.
These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.
Pro tour legality (UPA-A)
