Summary
The Zane Navratil "The Standard" 14mm paddle from ProXR is a standard-shaped 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 8.2 oz with a 5.25-inch grip, it falls into the midweight category. Its swing weight of 109 is considered low, suggesting ease of maneuverability. The 14mm core thickness may provide a blend of power and control.
This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players due to its balance of power and control characteristics. The high spin rating (8.4/10) and high spin percentile (92nd) suggest good spin potential. The relatively high twist weight rating (6.4/10) and very high twist weight percentile (85th) indicate potential stability on off-center hits.
While the paddle's maneuverability may be a strength, the lower drive speed and volley speed ratings (6.1/10 and 5.4/10, respectively) and corresponding percentiles (32nd and 33rd) indicate it may not be ideal for players primarily seeking power.
