elongated
The Shogun by Bread and Butter is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. Weighing 8 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it caters to players seeking a midweight option. The 121 swing weight (high) suggests it may generate substantial power, but could require more effort to swing. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with enhanced control. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often linked to improved control and feel. Given its specifications, this paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players looking for a blend of power and control. The moderate twist weight of 6.17 may offer decent stability on off-center hits. While the paddle demonstrates potential strengths in power and control, its higher swing weight might present a challenge for players with slower swing speeds.
