What weight category is this paddle?

At 217g this is a lightweight paddle (under 220g) - it favours quick hands at the net and delicate touch shots. The trade-off is less plow-through on drives.

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

This paddle has a fibreglass face - more forgiving and generates slightly more power than carbon face paddles, though with less spin potential. A great choice for recreational players and improvers.

What does the core thickness mean for how it plays?

This paddle has a 398 mm core. Thicker cores (16mm+) give a softer feel, generous sweet spot and better control on resets and dinks - ideal for defensive and all-court players. The trade-off is slightly less raw power.

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.
