The Paddletek Tempest Wave Pro-C 14.3 is a standard-shaped paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it has a low swing weight of 110, placing it in the 28th percentile. The twist weight is 7.085, rating high in the 90th percentile, suggesting good stability. This paddle's spin is rated 7.8 out of 10 (79th percentile), drive speed 6.6 (47th percentile), and volley speed 7.0 (75th percentile).

However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle's lower swing weight limiting.
