Summary

The Neonic Flow is an all-court paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Its hybrid shape blends elements of standard and elongated paddles. Weighing 8.1 oz, it falls within a midweight range, offering maneuverability while still providing some power. The 116 swing weight is considered medium, and the 5.5-inch grip is standard.

With a spin rating of 8.1/10 and placing in the 85th percentile for spin, this paddle may be suitable for players who prioritize spin generation. The moderate drive speed (53.63 mph) and volley speed (33.68 mph) ratings suggest a balance between power and control. The twist weight rating of 6.7/10, in the 67th percentile, indicates decent stability on off-center hits.

The Flow may be a good fit for intermediate players looking for an all-court paddle. The combination of spin, moderate power, and control could suit a variety of playing styles. While the midweight offers maneuverability, some players might find it lacks the power of heavier paddles.
