elongated
The Thrive RUSH is an elongated paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a blend of power and control. Weighing 7.9 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its 119 swing weight (high) suggests it may deliver powerful shots but could require more effort to swing. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The RUSH's spin is rated 7.6/10 (71st percentile), drive speed 7.5/10 (76th percentile), and volley speed 6.0/10 (52nd percentile). Its twist weight is rated 4.4/10 and falls in the 38th percentile, suggesting moderate torsional stability. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of power and control with a focus on drive power. The lower twist weight rating could be a limitation for players seeking maximum stability on off-center hits.
