Ben Johns Hyperion 3 16mm

The Ben Johns Hyperion 3 16mm is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8 ounces with a 5.5-inch grip and a medium swing weight of 116. The 16mm core thickness is generally associated with enhanced control. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Its spin rating is 8.2/10, drive speed rating is 8.1/10, volley speed rating is 9.0/10, and twist weight rating is 4.2/10. The high volley speed rating suggests potential for strong volleys. The lower twist weight rating may indicate slightly less resistance to twisting on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control, particularly those who prioritize volleys. The 8-ounce weight could be maneuverable for a variety of players, while the medium swing weight may provide sufficient power for drives.
