elongated
The Joola Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 16mm is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Its weight is 8.4 oz with a 127 swing weight, placing it in the high swing weight category, and a 5.5-inch grip. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with control-oriented paddles. The carbon fiber face is generally known for providing a balance of power and control. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players who prioritize control and appreciate a head-heavy feel. The high swing weight could generate more power, but may also reduce maneuverability for some. The relatively high twist weight of 6.64, and twist weight rating of 6.7 out of 10, suggests good stability on off-center hits. While the spin rating is 4.7 out of 10, the drive speed rating is 3.4 out of 10.
