Summary

The Wild Monkeys Pit Viper Ghost is a standard-shaped paddle with a 13.5mm polypropylene honeycomb core. Polypropylene honeycomb cores are known for their balance of power and control. The paddle features a carbon fiber face, often associated with control and feel. Weighing 7.9 oz, it falls into the lightweight category, generally making it easy to maneuver. With a 5-inch grip length, it may be less suitable for players preferring two-handed backhands. The swing weight is 113, considered low and contributing to maneuverability. The twist weight is 7.08 with a high twist weight rating of 6.9 out of 10 and a high twist weight percentile of 90, suggesting good stability on off-center hits. The spin rating is relatively low at 0.3 out of 10, and the spin percentile is in the bottom 1%. This paddle may be suitable for players prioritizing maneuverability and control. The thin core and lightweight design could offer good power potential, while the carbon fiber face and high twist weight may enhance control. However, the low spin rating might limit spin generation.
