Summary

The Engage Pursuit Pro EX is a standard-shaped paddle with a 13mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.2 oz with a 5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. The swing weight is 111, considered relatively low, which may make it easier to maneuver.

This paddle's spin rating is 8.2/10, drive speed rating is 6.7/10, and volley speed rating is 7.7/10. Its high spin (88th percentile) and pop (88th percentile) ratings, combined with a moderate power rating (48th percentile), suggest it may be suitable for players who prioritize spin and quick volleys. The twist weight rating is 6.4/10 (85th percentile), indicating good stability on off-center hits.

The Pursuit Pro EX might be a good fit for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of control, spin, and maneuverability. The lighter weight and lower swing weight could benefit players who prefer quick reactions at the net. However, players seeking maximum power might find other paddles more suitable.
