elongated
The Joola Ben Johns Hyperion CFS 14mm is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 7.8 oz with a medium swing weight of 113, potentially providing maneuverability while still allowing for powerful shots. The 5.5-inch grip is standard length. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. The 14mm core thickness, thinner than the 16mm often associated with control paddles, may contribute to more powerful shots. The manufacturer lists the spin as 1624 RPM with a spin rating of 4.8 out of 10, placing it in the 24th percentile. The twist weight is 5.74 with a rating of 3.6 out of 10, placing it in the 18th percentile. This lower twist weight could make the paddle slightly less stable on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control.
