Summary
The VIVA Pro 14mm by Hudef Sport is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The combination of core and face materials may offer a balance of power and control. Its elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 8 ounces with a medium swing weight of 117, the paddle may be suitable for a variety of players. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard. The spin rating is 5.9 out of 10, placing it in the 35th percentile. The twist weight is 6.5 with a rating of 5.4 out of 10, falling into the 61st percentile. This suggests moderate torsional stability. While the carbon fiber face is often associated with control, the thinner core may contribute to more power than thicker-cored paddles. The medium swing weight could provide sufficient power without sacrificing maneuverability. Players seeking a blend of power and control in an elongated paddle might find the VIVA Pro 14mm worth considering.
