The 16mm core is designed to absorb more energy upon impact, which creates a softer, more dampened feel. This makes it significantly easier to control the ball during resets and soft-game maneuvers at the net, rather than generating raw power.

The raw T700 carbon fiber face provides a naturally textured surface that grips the ball better than smooth or coated paddles. This texture allows you to generate more spin on your serves and drives without needing to rely on a grit spray that wears off over time.

Yes, thermoforming bonds the paddle face and core into a single, cohesive unit rather than gluing separate pieces together. This construction method reduces the likelihood of the paddle developing dead spots or delaminating over time, resulting in a more consistent feel across the entire face.

While the foam-injected edges add a slight amount of weight to the perimeter, their primary purpose is to increase structural stability and expand the sweet spot. This means you will experience less twisting on off-center hits, making the paddle feel more forgiving and stable during play.

A 4.25-inch grip is considered a standard medium size that fits most players comfortably. If you have larger hands or prefer a thicker feel, you can easily add an overgrip to increase the circumference to your preference.
