hybrid
The Thompson 515 Uni is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 14.25mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it has a low swing weight of 108, making it easy to maneuver. The paddle's balance point is relatively head-light. Its spin rating (10/10) and high spin percentile (99.8%) suggest strong spin potential. Drive speed (8/10) and volley speed (8.2/10) ratings indicate decent power and pop. The twist weight rating is moderate (5.6/10). This paddle might suit players prioritizing spin and control, potentially including intermediate or all-court players. The lighter weight could benefit players seeking maneuverability, while the carbon fiber face may enhance touch. However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle less suitable due to its lighter weight and head-light balance.
