Who it suits
- 19 mm core. Thicker cores feel softer and steadier; 16 mm is the core the sources suggest for newer players and most others today (Onix, Paddletek, Pickleball Effect).
- Midweight, 7.9–8.3 oz. Between Paddletek's lightweight (7.3 oz and under) and heavy (8.5 oz and over) classes: the range suggested for beginners and for sore arms (Paddletek).
- Elongated. Trades forgiveness for reach, and scores lowest of the three shapes on comfort measures (Pickleball Effect).
- Very low swingweight for an elongated. Quick to swing, but the very lowest pass more shock to the arm (Pickleball.com).
- High twistweight for an elongated. Steadier on off-centre hits, which the sources rate highest for newer players and sore arms (Pickleball.com, Pickleball Effect, Paddletek).
- 4¼ in grip. Grips of 4⅛ in or larger tend to need less squeezing (Pickleball Effect); if it's big for your hand, there's no making it smaller, so try before you buy.
