Summary

The Spartus Ballista v2 is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, commonly known for balancing power and control. The face features a spray-on grit surface. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.4-inch grip, it has a swing weight of approximately 112, placing it in the low range. This weight combined with the elongated shape may make it suitable for players seeking maneuverability and reach. The 16mm core thickness may enhance control. The reported spin is 1863 RPM with a spin rating of 6.6 out of 10, placing it in the 47th percentile. The twist weight is 5.625 with a rating of 3.3 out of 10, falling within the 13th percentile. This lower twist weight could mean the paddle is less resistant to twisting on off-center hits. The Ballista v2 may be a good option for players prioritizing maneuverability and control, but players seeking high power or stability might consider other options.
