{"product_id":"crosscourt-16","title":"Crosscourt 16","description":"\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crosscourt 16 is for the intermediate player with a full hand. 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. If you play mostly one-handed, and you want your fingers close to the face rather than stacked down the handle, start here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow it plays\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe short handle changes the first thing you notice: your hand sits closer to the face, and the paddle answers sooner. Hands battles at the kitchen line are where that shows — the block comes up before you decide to block.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind it, 16 mm of polypropylene honeycomb does the slow work. The ball stays on the face long enough to be placed, so drops land and counters stay flat instead of floating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe core\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCore: 16 mm of polypropylene honeycomb. 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. The 4.25 in grip puts more of your palm on the handle, and a full hand is a calmer hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Crosscourt 16 ships ready to play — nothing to assemble, nothing to set up. Lift it out, take your grip, and warm up.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 16.5 in it needs a full-length cover, so add one if you do not already carry a spare.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare and lifespan\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA raw carbon face picks up a gray film from the ball. That is transferred rubber and court dust, and it wipes off: a damp microfiber cloth after each session, no solvents, no abrasive pads.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe edge guard takes the scrapes, so check it after a hard court session. Store the paddle somewhere cool rather than in a hot trunk and it stays true.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Seven Foot Line™","offers":[{"title":"PP010-D-Pro","offer_id":55519134450006,"sku":"14:691#PP010-D-Pro;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-C","offer_id":55519134482774,"sku":"14:173#PP010-C;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-B-Pro","offer_id":55519134515542,"sku":"14:366#PP010-B-Pro;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-C-Pro","offer_id":55519134548310,"sku":"14:496#PP010-C-Pro;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-D","offer_id":55519134581078,"sku":"14:175#PP010-D;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-A-Pro","offer_id":55519134613846,"sku":"14:193#PP010-A-Pro;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-A","offer_id":55519134646614,"sku":"14:10#PP010-A;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"PP010-B","offer_id":55519134679382,"sku":"14:29#PP010-B;200007763:201336100","price":129.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1067\/2383\/6246\/files\/S2a0de42875c947068e6821c83d012ddeY.webp?v=1790576355","url":"https:\/\/sevenfootline.com\/products\/crosscourt-16","provider":"Seven Foot Line™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
