Summary

The Thrive THREAT is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination suggests a balance of power and control. Weighing 8oz with a 122 swing weight (high), it may provide substantial power but could be less maneuverable for some. The 5.3-inch grip might be slightly short for players preferring two-handed backhands. The paddle's spin rating is 7.5/10, while drive speed and volley speed ratings are 6.3/10 and 4.6/10, respectively. Its twist weight rating is 6.0/10, suggesting moderate torsional stability. The THREAT might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control, particularly those who prioritize drives. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. However, players prioritizing maneuverability or quick volleys might find its weight and lower volley speed rating a potential limitation.
