Balance 1 15mm

The GRYP Balance 1 15mm is an elongated paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Its standard length is 16.5 inches with a width of 7.5 inches. Weighing 8.2 oz with a medium swing weight of 113, this paddle may offer a balance of power and control. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for its blend of power and control. The 15mm core thickness may provide a balance between power and control. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. The Balance 1's spin rating is 6.9 out of 10, placing it in the 51st percentile for spin generation among tested paddles. Its twist weight is 5.93, with a rating of 4.0, falling into the 30th percentile. This suggests the paddle may be slightly less resistant to twisting on off-center hits compared to other paddles. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players seeking a balance of power, control, and spin. A potential weakness could be slightly less stability on off-center hits.
