Summary

The Niupipo Explorer Pro 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 low swing weight of 108, the Explorer Pro could be maneuverable. The 4.96-inch grip may be better suited for players with smaller hands or those who prefer a shorter grip. The paddle has a spin rating of 2.5/10 and a twist weight rating of 6.2/10. The high twist weight percentile (80.5) suggests good resistance to twisting on off-center hits, potentially enhancing control. The relatively low spin rating (2.5/10) and spin percentile (8.5) indicate that generating spin might be less of a strength. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate players looking for a blend of power and control with an emphasis on maneuverability. The light weight and low swing weight could be beneficial for quick exchanges at the net, while the 16mm core may provide a stable feel.
