Summary
The Paddletek Tempest Reign Pro v3 is an elongated paddle with a 14.3mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 7.8 oz with a 5.25-inch grip and a medium swing weight of 114. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The carbon fiber face is often associated with control and feel, while the thinner core may contribute to increased power. The relatively low twist weight of 5.52, rating at 3.0/10 and falling in the 10th percentile, could make the paddle less stable on off-center hits. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate to advanced players seeking a blend of power and control. The lighter weight could enhance maneuverability, while the medium swing weight may provide sufficient power for drives.
