Summary

The Neonic Force 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. Weighing 8.1 oz with a 5.3-inch grip, it could be suitable for a variety of players. The 117 swing weight (medium) suggests moderate power potential. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The elongated shape may provide a larger sweet spot. Its 16mm core thickness is generally associated with control-oriented paddles. The Force's spin rating is 7.0 out of 10, placing it in the 56th percentile. Its power and pop ratings are 6.2 and 4.9, respectively, falling into the 36th and 22nd percentiles. The twist weight rating is 5.4, landing in the 60th percentile, suggesting reasonable stability on off-center hits. While the paddle's specifications suggest a balance of power and control, the lower power and pop percentiles indicate it may not be ideal for players primarily seeking maximum power. The shorter grip length may not be ideal for players who prefer two-handed backhands.
