What these specs mean
- Core thickness
- Very thick cores (17 mm and up) push further toward softness and stability, usually at the cost of power.
- 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.
These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.
