Summary

The Bread and Butter Invader is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, often chosen for a balance of power and control. The face is constructed from titanium and carbon fiber, materials known for their potential to enhance power and responsiveness. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.3-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 118 swing weight is considered high, which may provide more power but require more effort to swing. The Invader's 16mm core thickness is generally associated with enhanced control.

Its spin rating is 8.0 out of 10, placing it in the 84th percentile. The drive speed rating is 7.6, falling into the 78th percentile for power. The volley speed rating is 6.8, placing it in the 69th percentile for pop. The twist weight rating is 6.3 and is in the 83rd percentile, suggesting good stability on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The high swing weight and stiff core could benefit players with aggressive playing styles. However, the higher weight might present a challenge for players prioritizing maneuverability.
