elongated
The Friday Original Paddle is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Weighing 8.3 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it has a medium swing weight (117). The 16mm core thickness may provide a balance of power and control. Carbon fiber faces are often associated with control and feel. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players due to its balance of power and control characteristics. Its power rating (8.0/10) and spin rating (7.7/10) suggest potential strengths in aggressive play. However, the lower pop rating (5.6/10) may be a limitation for players prioritizing quick volleys. The twist weight rating is 4.9/10.
