Zane Navratil "The Standard" 16mm

The Zane Navratil "The Standard" 16mm, by ProXR, is a standard-shaped paddle with a 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8.2 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it has a low swing weight (111), which may make it maneuverable. The 16mm core thickness contributes to control-oriented gameplay. The high twist weight (7.195) and high twist weight rating (7.2 out of 10) suggest good stability on off-center hits. With high spin (2123 RPM) and a spin rating of 8.5 out of 10, this paddle may be suited for players who prioritize spin generation. While the shorter grip may not be ideal for two-handed backhands, the paddle's balance of control and maneuverability could make it suitable for intermediate all-court players. A potential limitation could be less power compared to heavier paddles.
