The \u003cstrong\u003eSICmatrix\u003c\/strong\u003e silicon-carbide face is rated Tier 1 durable roughness, so the bite you feel on day one is still there months in. This is the 14mm Elongated — the fastest, most aggressive Jade: a 16.5-inch face for reach and leverage, a thinner core for quicker launch, and a 7.7 oz build that gets through the ball in a hurry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:800;margin:26px 0 8px;border-left:5px solid #C5EA6C;padding-left:12px;\"\u003eBest For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttack-first players who take the ball early and finish points. Baseline drives, speed-ups, counters and overheads all get a faster rebound off the 14mm core, and the elongated shape adds leverage on serves and returns. A strong singles paddle, and the pick for doubles players who want to hit through the court rather than reset it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:20px;font-weight:800;margin:26px 0 8px;border-left:5px solid #C5EA6C;padding-left:12px;\"\u003eSkill Level\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntermediate to advanced. RPM classes the Jade at Professional Level, and the thinner core rewards clean contact — a solid 3.5+ with a full swing will get the most from it. Players who want more dwell on resets should look at the 16mm Elongated; players who want more forgiveness should start with the Widebody.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3

Next to the Jade 14mm Widebody, you trade forgiveness (6.0 twist weight vs 6.8) and a few points of hand speed (112 vs 104) for real reach and more put-away on full swings.
