All-Court Gen 216mm coreElongated ✔ USAP approved
The quick read: a Gen 2 balanced, do-everything all-courter. The heavier swing weight trades some hand speed for plow-through power, and the spin is among the best numbers we’ve measured.

RFP's take — our interpretation of the measured data
Who should actually swing it?
The measured numbers put this in all-court territory: the heavier swing weight trades some hand speed for plow-through power, and the spin is among the best numbers we’ve measured.
✅ Great for: all-court players who want one paddle that does a bit of everything.
⛔ Look elsewhere if: you want an extreme specialist — a pure power-bomber or a dedicated spin tool.
