CXE

The OWL CXE is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, often chosen for its balance of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.3-inch grip, it has a swing weight of 119, placing it in the high range. This suggests it may be more suitable for players seeking added power but could be less maneuverable for some. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. While the manufacturer does not specify the face material, the high spin rating (9.3/10) and spin percentile (99%) suggest good spin potential. The drive speed rating is 6.2/10, and the volley speed rating is 5.1/10. The relatively low twist weight rating of 3.0/10 and percentile of 9.7% could indicate some susceptibility to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle might be best suited for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize power and spin in their game.
