elongated
The GAMMA 505 by Gamma Sports is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The graphite face is often associated with enhanced control and feel. Weighing 7.6 oz with a 119 swing weight (considered high), this paddle may be best suited for players seeking more power. The 5.25-inch grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control. The combination of the elongated shape and graphite face could offer a larger sweet spot and precise ball placement. Potential strengths include a blend of power and control due to the core and face materials. The higher swing weight may generate more power but could also reduce maneuverability for some. Its twist weight of 6.37, with a rating of 5.1 out of 10 and placing in the 54th percentile, suggests average torsional stability.
