Summary

The Spartus Olympus is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core. This core material is known for its balance of power and control. The face is composed of fiberglass and carbon fiber, materials often associated with a blend of power and touch. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category. The 5.5-inch grip is standard length. With a swing weight of 112, it is considered relatively low, potentially offering maneuverability. The Olympus has a spin of 2031 RPM, a drive speed of 55 MPH, and a volley speed of 35 MPH. Its twist weight is 6.23.

The paddle's combination of features may make it suitable for a variety of players, from intermediate to advanced, seeking a balance between power and control. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The lighter swing weight may enhance maneuverability for quick exchanges at the net. The fiberglass and carbon fiber face, combined with the polypropylene core, may offer a blend of power and control.

While the lighter weight may improve maneuverability, it could also result in less power compared to heavier paddles. The 14mm core, while offering a balance, may not provide the same level of control as thicker cores.
