Babolat BALLR Plus

The 16mm thickness provides a thicker, more stable core that excels at vibration dampening and control. It creates a softer, more dampened feel at impact, which is ideal for players who want to reset the ball effectively or prioritize touch over raw power.

The hybrid shape is designed to offer the best of both worlds: it provides enough length for reach and leverage on overheads, while maintaining a width that keeps the paddle maneuverable during fast-paced hand battles at the net.

The BALLR Plus uses specialized RPM Max Grit technology integrated into the carbon fiber face. Because it is engineered into the surface rather than just applied as a coating, it is designed to maintain its spin-generating texture significantly longer than paddles with simple spray-on grit.

Uni-Body, or mono-molded construction, means the paddle is formed as a single, unified piece rather than having a separate handle attached to the head. This eliminates common weak points where handles often snap or loosen, resulting in a more solid, consistent feel over time.

At 8.2 ounces, this paddle falls into the mid-to-heavy weight category. This added mass helps provide stability and plow-through power on your shots, making it a solid choice for players who want a reliable, steady feel without needing to generate all the power themselves.

With a 5.5-inch grip length, this paddle accommodates players who prefer a two-handed backhand or simply want more room to adjust their hand position. It offers enough space for most players to comfortably fit both hands on the handle without feeling cramped.
