Oya Classic (Obsidian)

The Oya Classic (Obsidian) is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. The 8.2 oz weight is considered midweight, and the 111 swing weight is on the lower end of the spectrum. This combination may offer a balance of maneuverability and power. The 16mm core thickness is often associated with control-oriented paddles. Carbon fiber faces are known for their potential to enhance touch and control. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot and increased reach. The 6.25-inch grip length may be suitable for players who prefer a longer grip or use a two-handed backhand. The paddle's spin rating is 6.8/10, placing it in the 49th percentile. Its twist weight rating is 3.6/10, falling within the 18th percentile. This lower twist weight may result in less stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players looking for a blend of control and power in an elongated paddle.
