What these specs mean

Core thickness
A mid-thickness core (about 14 to 15 mm) sits between the two common builds: a bit more pop than 16 mm, a bit more cushion than 13 mm.
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
Elongated paddles add reach and leverage for more swing speed on drives and serves, and often have a longer handle for two-handed backhands. The trade-off is a narrower face, so the sweet spot is smaller and off-center hits are less forgiving.
Face
A raw carbon face leaves the carbon-fiber surface untreated. Its natural texture tends to grip the ball for spin, though texture can wear with heavy use.
Combination
An elongated shape with a thinner core is a power-leaning combination: extra leverage plus a faster, firmer response.

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)
