Summary

The Engage Pursuit Pro MX is an elongated paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a blend of power and control. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.75-inch grip, it could suit players who prefer a slightly longer grip, potentially beneficial for two-handed backhands. The swing weight of 120 is considered high and may provide more power, but could also reduce maneuverability for some. The paddle's spin rating is 8.1/10, drive speed is 55.1 mph, and volley speed is 35.4 mph. These metrics, along with high spin (85th percentile) and pop (84th percentile) ratings, suggest the paddle may be suited for players who prioritize an aggressive playing style. The twist weight of 5.96, while not exceptionally high or low (31st percentile), contributes to the paddle's overall stability. Players seeking a control-oriented paddle might find the Pursuit Pro MX's power and head-heavy swing weight challenging.
