4.5 / 5
Outstanding

Strengths

  • Crisp, responsive graphite face with excellent feedback
  • Smart Response polymer core balances power and control
  • Elongated shape adds reach without losing too much sweet spot

Watch outs

  • Price point (£160-200 UK) is squarely in the premium tier
  • Elongated head means a slightly smaller sweet spot than wide-body paddles
  • Less common in UK retail than Selkirk/Joola; buy from Pure Racket Sport or import
£179.99
