Summary

The Chorus Shapeshifter EX 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 7.9 oz, it falls within a midweight range, potentially providing stability while remaining maneuverable. The 5.6-inch grip length may be suitable for players who prefer a longer grip or utilize a two-handed backhand. Its swing weight of 115 is considered medium, and the twist weight is 6.125. The 16mm core thickness and elongated shape could contribute to a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control-oriented paddles. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players seeking a blend of power, control, and maneuverability. The moderate twist weight rating of 4.5 out of 10 suggests that torsional stability may be average. While the medium swing weight could provide power, it might also reduce maneuverability for some players.
