elongated
The Engage Pickleball Pursuit MAXX MX 6.0 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 7.8 oz weight and 122 swing weight (high) suggest it may be suitable for players seeking more power. The 5.75-inch grip may accommodate two-handed backhands. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with control-oriented paddles.
The carbon fiber face is often linked to control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for a blend of power and control. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. The higher swing weight may generate more power but could reduce maneuverability for some. The twist weight of 6.24 is average, suggesting moderate stability on off-center hits. The manufacturer's data suggests above-average drive speed and slightly above average volley speed (pop), but below-average spin. This paddle may be best suited for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize power and control.
