AZUL

The Thrive AZUL is an all-court paddle with a hybrid shape. Its 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core is known for balancing power and control. The Kevlar and carbon fiber face may provide a blend of power and feel. Weighing 8.2 oz, it falls into the midweight category, offering a balance of maneuverability and power. The 5.5-inch grip is standard length. With a swing weight of 117, it falls in the medium range, suitable for a variety of players. The AZUL's spin rating is 7.6 out of 10, drive speed rating is 7.2, and volley speed rating is 6.8. Its twist weight rating is 5.7, suggesting moderate resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking for a balance of power, control, and spin. The combination of materials and core thickness could offer solid performance across different playing styles. However, the midweight might not be ideal for players prioritizing extreme maneuverability or maximum power.
