hybrid
The ProKennex Black Ace Ovation is a hybrid-shaped paddle with a 10mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The face is constructed of carbon fiber, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the lightweight category, generally making it easier to maneuver. Its 5.4-inch grip length is standard. The paddle has a low swing weight of 101, further enhancing maneuverability. The twist weight is 5.92, offering moderate torsional stability. With a spin of 1654 RPM (spin rating: 5.1/10 and 26th percentile), this paddle may be best suited for players prioritizing control and maneuverability over power. The lighter weight and lower swing weight could be beneficial for players with shorter swings or those prone to wrist injuries. However, players seeking maximum power might find this paddle less suitable.
