Summary

The PCKL Pro Series 16mm is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz, it falls within a midweight range, offering maneuverability while still providing some power. Its 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The 117 swing weight is considered medium and may suit a variety of playing styles.

This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players. The combination of core and face materials could provide a blend of power and control. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. The moderate swing weight and twist weight (6.54, 64th percentile) may offer stability and power without sacrificing maneuverability. Spin potential is rated 6.0 out of 10 (38th percentile). Drive and volley speed ratings are lower, at 4.5 and 1.7 out of 10, respectively (9th and 2nd percentile). This suggests the paddle may not be ideal for players prioritizing maximum power.
