VIVA Pro 16mm

The VIVA Pro 16mm by Hudef Sport is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces with a 120 swing weight (categorized as high), this paddle may be best suited for players seeking more power. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. Potential strengths include a blend of power and control from the core and face materials, and increased reach and a larger sweet spot due to the elongated shape. The high swing weight can generate more power, but may also reduce maneuverability for some. Its twist weight of 6.81, rating 6.2 out of 10 and placing in the 81st percentile, suggests good stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is 5.9 out of 10, falling in the 35th percentile.
