Summary
The Pro Line Energy by Pickleball Apes is an elongated paddle with a 16.5mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.3 oz and has a 6.25-inch grip length, potentially accommodating two-handed backhands. Its 123 swing weight (high) suggests it may generate substantial power but could be less maneuverable for some. The 5.75 twist weight and corresponding low twist weight rating (3.6 out of 10) indicate potential susceptibility to twisting on off-center hits. The paddle's spin (1850 RPM), drive speed (54.2 mph), and volley speed (34.1 mph) are in the 44th, 49th, and 42nd percentile respectively, suggesting average performance in these areas. The elongated shape could offer a larger sweet spot. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking more power.
