PB Adipower Carbon Team

The Adidas PB Adipower Carbon Team is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 7.8 oz weight and 116 swing weight (medium) suggest a balance between maneuverability and power. The 5.5-inch grip is standard length. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the polypropylene honeycomb core is known for a blend of power and control. This combination may provide a good balance for intermediate players seeking an all-court paddle. The 4.8 spin rating and 1624 RPM spin measurement place it in the 24th percentile for spin generation. The relatively low twist weight of 5.72 (3.5 rating and 17th percentile) could make the paddle slightly less stable on off-center hits.
