Summary

The Grizzly 3K by Wild Monkeys is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, often chosen for its balance of power and control. The carbon fiber face is generally associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.4 oz with a swing weight of 117, it falls into the medium swing weight category, potentially offering a blend of maneuverability and power. The 5.2-inch grip may be suitable for players with smaller hands. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. Its medium swing weight (117) and twist weight of 7.59 (99th percentile, rating 8.1/10) suggest good stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of power and control. The combination of core and face materials may provide a blend of power and control, while the standard shape could offer a familiar feel. The 8.4 oz weight might be considered slightly heavy for some players, potentially affecting maneuverability.
