That electroplated weave on the face is the whole story: it's springier and louder off the ball than standard T-700 carbon, so drives jump and serves come off heavy. The elongated shape stretches your reach and adds leverage, while the 16mm high-density poly core and thermoformed unibody keep it stable instead of harsh. It's a power paddle with just enough control to keep you honest at the kitchen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- 2.
