How does the Toray T700 carbon face affect spin and durability?

The raw Toray T700 carbon used on the paddle has a textured, longer-lasting finish that increases friction on the ball to promote topspin and slice. Because the carbon is engineered for strength, it resists wear from repeated ball strikes and rough surfaces.

• Textured raw Toray T700 surface for enhanced ball grip and spin.
• Durable carbon layup resists surface wear and keeps consistent feel.
• Balanced response helps maintain control when adding spin to shots.

What does the 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core do for my game?

The 16 mm honeycomb core provides a predictable rebound and a softer touch on dinks and drives. It smooths out off-center hits while offering enough pop to finish points when you need power.

• 16 mm thickness for stable, consistent ball response.
• Polypropylene honeycomb structure reduces vibration and improves control.
• Soft-game friendly while retaining enough authority for finishing shots.

Why choose an extra-long handle and how will it change my grip options?

The extended handle length expands reach and makes two-handed backhands more comfortable and stable. It also offers additional leverage for spin and directional control while allowing standard single-handed grips for volleys and serves.

• Extra-long handle optimized for two-handed backhand technique.
• 4.25" octagon grip circumference for secure, ergonomic hold.
• Makes reach and leverage easier without compromising net play.
