Summary

The Wild Monkeys Prima Ghost is an elongated paddle with a 15mm 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 8.5 ounces with a high swing weight of 122, this paddle might be more suitable for players seeking additional power. The 5-inch grip may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands. The twist weight of 6.39 suggests moderate torsional stability. With a spin rating of 0.8/10 and a relatively low spin percentile of 2.8%, this paddle may not be optimized for generating high levels of spin. The high swing weight percentile (85.5%) reinforces its power potential, but could also make it less maneuverable for some.
