Summary
The Hudef Sport VIVA Pro Gen2 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a material known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8oz with a 125 swing weight (high), this paddle may be best suited for players seeking more power. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control. Potential strengths include a blend of power and control from the core and face materials, and increased reach and sweet spot due to the elongated shape. The high swing weight, while contributing to power, might make the paddle less maneuverable for some. Its twist weight of 6.44 suggests good stability on off-center hits. Spin (1930 RPM) and drive speed (54.8 MPH) are above average, while volley speed (34.2 MPH) is average.
