Signature Series 13m

The ProXR Signature Series 13m is an elongated paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core, a carbon fiber face, and weighs 8.2 oz. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Polypropylene honeycomb cores are known for a blend of power and control, while carbon fiber faces are often associated with control and feel. The 6-inch grip is longer than average, potentially benefiting players using a two-handed backhand. With a swing weight of 116, this paddle falls into the mid-swing weight range, offering a balance between maneuverability and power. The twist weight is 5.6 with a relatively low twist weight rating of 3.2/10, suggesting potential challenges maintaining stability on off-center hits. This paddle may be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of power and control. The combination of core and face materials could provide a good blend of power and control, while the longer grip accommodates two-handed backhands. However, the 13mm core might produce less power than thicker cores, and the lower twist weight rating could result in less stability.
