Summary
The CRBN 3X 14MM is an elongated paddle with a 14mm polypropylene honeycomb core, known for balancing power and control. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel. Weighing 8 ounces, it falls into the midweight category, potentially offering maneuverability with some added power. The 5.25-inch grip may be suitable for most players but might not be ideal for those preferring a longer grip for two-handed backhands.
With a swing weight of 114, this paddle falls into the medium swing weight range, potentially offering a blend of power and control. Its spin rating of 7.0 suggests decent spin potential. The twist weight rating of 4.8 and percentile of 45.1 suggest below-average torsional stability.
This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a balance of power and control. The combination of core and face materials could provide a good blend of power and touch. The elongated shape may offer a larger sweet spot. However, the 14mm core might not provide the same level of control as thicker cores, and the average twist weight could result in less stability on off-center hits.
