Apollo

The Spartus Apollo is a wide-body pickleball paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar face material is less common than graphite or fiberglass. It weighs 8.1 oz, placing it in the midweight range, and has a 5.5-inch grip. Its swing weight of 108 is considered low and may make it easier to maneuver. The Apollo's twist weight is rated highly (7.98/10), suggesting good stability on off-center hits. The paddle has a spin rating of 8.0/10 and falls into the 83rd percentile for spin, indicating above-average spin potential. Its drive and volley speed ratings are lower, at 5.9/10 and 5.0/10, respectively. The wide-body shape could offer a larger sweet spot. This paddle might be suitable for players prioritizing control and spin, particularly those who prefer a lighter paddle. While the Kevlar face and core *may* offer a unique feel and good spin, the lower drive and volley speed ratings *could* indicate less power compared to some paddles.
