Summary
The Vulcan V560 Control is an elongated paddle with a 13mm 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 8.4 oz with a medium swing weight of 117, this paddle could provide a balance of maneuverability and power. The 5.5-inch grip length is standard. The manufacturer suggests this paddle is designed for control. The polypropylene honeycomb core is known for its balance of power and control. A potential strength of this paddle may be its blend of control-oriented features with enough weight to generate power. The lower spin rating (2.7 out of 10) and spin percentile (10th) might be considered a potential weakness for players who prioritize spin generation. The twist weight of 5.78 suggests moderate stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players looking for a balance between control and power.
