elongated
The Cheetah Predion E16 AF/CF is an elongated paddle with a 16mm aramid fiber honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 7.7 oz with a low swing weight of 108, potentially making it maneuverable. The 5.5-inch grip accommodates most players. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented play. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. With a spin of 1417 RPM and drive speed of 51.7 MPH, this paddle might suit intermediate players looking for a blend of control, maneuverability, and power. The low twist weight of 5.475 could make the paddle less stable on off-center hits.
