Spec-based interpretation
What the specs may mean on court
At 14.2 mm, the core thickness is commonly associated with a more controlled, softer response when thicker and a firmer, more direct response when thinner. That is thinner than this catalog's 16 mm median.
Its listed average weight is 7.6 oz. Static weight can affect how quickly a paddle feels to move and how substantial it feels through contact; swing weight and balance matter too. It is lighter than this catalog's 8 oz median.
This is a comparison of documented specifications and common equipment tradeoffs, not a playtest or a claim about this paddle’s individual feel.
