What weight category is this paddle?

At 225g this is a midweight paddle - a popular balance point that delivers both good control and enough mass for solid drives. The most versatile weight category.

What is the face material and how does it affect play?

This paddle has a raw carbon fibre face (T700-grade). Raw carbon has a textured, uncoated surface that grips the ball aggressively for premium spin - the tour-level standard. The gritty texture typically lasts 6-12 months of regular play before losing spin, significantly longer than painted grit or fibreglass alternatives.

What does the core thickness mean for how it plays?

This paddle has a 8 mm core. Thinner cores deliver more raw pop and power but a smaller sweet spot and firmer feel - preferred by power players and drive-first aggressive hitters.

What does the standard shape mean for my game?

The standard shape is the most versatile paddle profile - a balance between sweet spot size and reach that suits the widest range of players. A safe choice if you're unsure what shape works best for you.
