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 16 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 elongated shape mean for my game?

The elongated shape gives you extra reach for put-aways and overheads - preferred by singles players and tall aggressive doubles players. The trade-off is a slightly higher sweet spot that can take some getting used to.
