Summary

The Ethos Dunamis Pro is an all-court paddle with a standard shape, 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, and a titanium and carbon fiber face. The 8-ounce weight and 116 swing weight (medium) suggest a balance of maneuverability and power. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The polypropylene core is known for its blend of power and control, while the titanium and carbon fiber face may contribute to responsiveness and spin. This combination could benefit players seeking a versatile paddle. The 16mm core thickness further enhances control-oriented characteristics. The medium swing weight may provide sufficient power for drives while maintaining good maneuverability. The relatively high twist weight of 6.86, rating 6.3 out of 10 and falling in the 83rd percentile, suggests good stability on off-center hits. While the paddle's spin rating is 7.5 out of 10 (67th percentile), its drive speed is rated lower at 5.7 (24th percentile). This suggests the paddle may be more oriented towards control and spin than pure power. Players prioritizing maximum power may find its drive speed a potential limitation.
