Summary

The Neonic Flare Prime X is a standard-shaped paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The fiberglass and carbon fiber face is often associated with a blend of power and feel. Weighing 7.8 oz with a 5.5-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its swing weight of 107 is considered low, suggesting ease of maneuverability. The 14mm core thickness may provide a balance of power and control.

With a spin rating of 7.5 and drive/volley speed ratings of 7.2/7.0 respectively, this paddle may be suitable for players seeking a blend of spin, power, and quick volleys. The relatively high twist weight of 6.69 and corresponding twist weight rating of 6.0 suggest good stability on off-center hits. This paddle could be a good option for intermediate players looking for an all-court paddle. While the lighter weight enhances maneuverability, it might produce less power than heavier paddles.
