Phantom Max

The Oya Sports Phantom Max is an elongated paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.3 oz with a 7-inch grip, suitable for two-handed backhands. Its 123 swing weight (high) suggests it may generate substantial power, but could also be less maneuverable. The 5.47 twist weight and corresponding low twist weight rating (2.9 out of 10) and percentile (8th percentile) indicate potential susceptibility to twisting on off-center hits. The spin rating is 6.2 out of 10, placing it in the 40th percentile. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. This paddle might be suited for intermediate to advanced players seeking a power-oriented paddle with an extended reach, but who are comfortable managing a higher swing weight.
