A \u003cstrong\u003e4.25 in grip\u003c\/strong\u003e fills the palm, and a hand that is not squeezing to hold on is a hand that stays loose through a dink exchange.

Deeper cells take more of the ball's energy on the way in and hand it back on the way out, which is why a 16 mm paddle forgives a soft grip and a late reset. It is the thickness to pick when your points are won at the net rather than from the baseline.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe face\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFace: raw carbon fiber, unpainted. The weave is left exposed, and that open grain is what bites the ball — topspin on a dink, sidespin on a serve, a roll volley that dips instead of sailing. There is no coating between your stroke and the ball, and nothing to wear off before the paddle plays its best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShape and reach\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElongated: 16.5 in tip to butt cap, 7.5 in across. You get the extra reach at the sideline and the extra leverage overhead that an elongated face gives. The handle is \u003cstrong\u003e5.5 in\u003c\/strong\u003e — enough for a two-handed backhand if you choke the top hand up onto the throat, and compact enough to stay out of the way on quick hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWeight and balance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: \u003cstrong\u003e8.1 oz\u003c\/strong\u003e. A true midweight — you can hold it up through a long hands exchange without your arm asking for a break, and it still has the mass behind a counter to send the ball back with pace.
