Drip - Verge

The Drip - Verge by Bread and Butter 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. Weighing 8.25 oz with a high swing weight (120), it may be more suitable for players seeking power. The 5-inch grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands. The Verge has a twist weight of 6.52, suggesting good stability on off-center hits. While the manufacturer claims a spin of 1042 RPM, independent testing yielded similar results. The paddle's high swing weight percentile (81st) reinforces its power potential, while its relatively low spin percentile (2nd) suggests spin may not be a primary strength. The twist weight percentile (63rd) indicates above-average torsional stability. The 16mm core thickness may provide additional control. While the carbon fiber face is often associated with control, the heavier weight and high swing weight could make it challenging for players prioritizing maneuverability.
