Tanto

The Komodo Tanto is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. Its elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot and increased reach. Weighing 8 ounces with a 5.8-inch grip, it could be considered a mid-weight paddle. The longer grip may be advantageous for players using a two-handed backhand. The swing weight is low at 100.

The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. The polypropylene honeycomb core is known for a blend of power and control. This combination, along with the 14mm core thickness, may provide a balance suitable for intermediate players seeking both power and control.

With a spin rating of 5.7/10 and a drive speed rating of 6.0/10, the Tanto may offer decent spin and power potential. The volley speed rating of 6.2/10 suggests potential for quick volleys. However, the relatively low twist weight rating of 2.5/10 could indicate less stability on off-center hits. The Tanto might be best suited for players prioritizing a balance of power and control with a larger sweet spot, but who are less concerned with maximum stability.
