FlipShot

The FlipShot by OneShot Pickleball is a wide-body paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The paddle face is constructed from a fiberglass and carbon fiber composite. Fiberglass contributes to power, while carbon fiber is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.6 ounces with a 5.5-inch grip, the FlipShot falls into the lightweight category. Lighter paddles generally offer greater maneuverability. Its wide-body shape may provide a larger sweet spot. With a low swing weight of 99, the paddle should be easy to swing. The twist weight of 6.55, combined with a relatively high twist weight rating (6.6 out of 10) and percentile (65th), suggests good resistance to twisting on off-center hits, potentially enhancing control. The spin rating is 2.5 out of 10, placing it in the 9th percentile. This paddle may be suitable for players prioritizing maneuverability and control, particularly beginners or those with shorter swings. The combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber in the face *could* offer a blend of power and control, while the lightweight design *may* improve quickness at the net. However, players seeking maximum power *might* find this paddle's lighter weight a limiting factor.
