Summary

The ProXR Sweet Spot Max 16mm is a standard-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 8.2 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The 116 swing weight is considered medium, potentially offering moderate power without sacrificing maneuverability. The 16mm core thickness may enhance control. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced all-court players seeking a balance of power and control. Its high twist weight rating (7.1 out of 10) and high twist weight percentile (93rd percentile) suggest good stability on off-center hits. While the spin rating is relatively high (7.9 out of 10), the drive speed rating is moderate (5.7 out of 10). This suggests the paddle may be more oriented towards control and spin generation than outright power. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands.
