Encore MX 6.0

The Engage Pickleball Encore MX 6.0 is an elongated paddle with a 15.24mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a fiberglass face. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Fiberglass faces are often associated with a blend of power and control. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category, potentially offering a balance of maneuverability and power. The grip length is 5.75 inches, slightly longer than standard, which can be beneficial for players using a two-handed backhand. With a spin of 1166 RPM and a spin rating of 1.5/10, this paddle may be more suited for players prioritizing control and touch over spin generation. The manufacturer suggests this paddle is suitable for all skill levels. While the core material and weight suggest a balance of power and control, the lower spin rating may make it more appealing to developing players focused on foundational strokes.
