Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro-C

The PT-700 Unidirectional Raw Carbon Fiber face creates a textured surface that grips the ball more effectively upon contact. This allows you to generate significantly more spin on serves, drives, and dinks compared to smoother, traditional paddle faces.

It is designed to be a hybrid. The Smart Response Technology polymer core provides enough pop for aggressive put-aways, while the stabilization layer and 14.3 mm thickness offer the touch and consistency needed for soft, controlled play at the kitchen line.

The Shot Protection Edge Guard System is integrated to minimize vibration and protect the paddle's integrity without compromising its balance. It adds durability to the frame while keeping the paddle's overall weight within the 7.8–8.2 oz range, which is standard for a maneuverable, balanced feel.

A 14.3 mm core is considered a 'sweet spot' thickness. It is thick enough to provide a stable, dampened feel that absorbs impact, yet thin enough to maintain the responsiveness and power required for faster exchanges.

With a handle length of 5.25 inches, this paddle accommodates a standard grip well. While some players may find it sufficient for a two-handed backhand, those who rely heavily on a two-handed swing might find it slightly shorter than elongated paddles specifically built for that style.
