Summary

The Nexus ProStar is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a core material known for balancing power and control. The face is constructed of titanium and carbon fiber. Its elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot. Weighing 8.2 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 124 swing weight (high) suggests it may provide substantial power but could require more effort to swing.

With a drive speed of 54.5 mph and a volley speed of 35.5 mph, the ProStar may be suited for players prioritizing power and pop. The moderate spin of 1689 RPM and a twist weight of 6.36 may offer decent control and stability. This paddle might be best suited for intermediate to advanced players looking for a blend of power and control in an elongated paddle shape. The high swing weight could be a potential drawback for players seeking maximum maneuverability.
