Viking Athletics Hammer C22

At 350g, this paddle sits on the heavier side, which naturally adds more mass behind your shots for increased power. While it provides stability, players transitioning from lighter paddles may notice a slight adjustment period to maintain quick hand speed at the net.

The oversized head increases the surface area of the paddle, creating a larger sweet spot. This design is particularly helpful for off-center hits, allowing you to maintain consistency and control even when you do not make perfect contact.

The carbon mesh rim is integrated to reinforce the paddle's structure, which minimizes twisting on impact. This results in a more stable, solid feel during play, especially when you are blocking hard-hit balls or driving from the baseline.

The Silencer dampener is designed to absorb vibration upon ball impact. This creates a more muted, responsive feel that reduces harsh feedback in your hand, allowing for better touch and comfort during longer rallies.

It is designed to bridge the gap between the two. While the C22 core and weight help you generate significant pace, the stability features ensure you do not lose the precision required for dinks and soft-game placement.
