Description

It suits players who want a powerful, attacking paddle with a precise feel. Its main difference is a unibody carbon construction that runs from face to handle for a stiff, responsive frame.
Key Features
- Charged Carbon surface – higher friction for more spin and control on the ball

- Unibody carbon fiber from face to handle – fewer weak joints and a more solid feel
