Summary

The Wild Monkeys Prima 3K is an elongated paddle with a 15mm polypropylene honeycomb core and a carbon fiber face. This combination may offer a balance of power and control. The paddle weighs 8.2 oz and has a medium swing weight of 116, placing it in the 60th percentile. The 5.2-inch grip may be suitable for most players, but those preferring a two-handed backhand might find it slightly short. The twist weight is 6, rating 4.2 out of 10 and falling in the 34th percentile, suggesting average torsional stability. The elongated shape could provide a larger sweet spot. The 15mm core thickness may contribute to a blend of power and control. This paddle might be suitable for intermediate all-court players looking for a balance of power and control. A potential weakness could be the lower twist weight rating, which may result in less stability on off-center hits.
