Summary

The Engage Pursuit Pro1 6.0 Lite 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 7.7 oz with a 5.875" grip length, it could suit players with two-handed backhands. The longer grip may also provide additional leverage. Its swing weight of 114 is in the mid-range, suggesting moderate maneuverability. The 16mm core thickness is generally associated with control-oriented paddles. The carbon fiber face is often linked to enhanced touch and feel. While the manufacturer categorizes this paddle as "Lite," its weight falls within a typical range and may not be considered ultralight. The reported spin (2039 RPM), drive speed (55.2 MPH), and volley speed (35.2 MPH) suggest decent power and spin potential. The relatively low twist weight of 5.76 could be a potential weakness for players seeking maximum stability on off-center hits. This paddle might be a good fit for intermediate to advanced players looking for an all-court paddle with a blend of power, control, and spin.
