Pickle's Take
19mm core, Kevlar and carbon fiber with grit face. Soft, plush feel and a forgiving sweet spot. Best for dinkers and counter-attackers who win at the kitchen line.

Too few paddles like it for a fair comparison (2 widebody paddles at 17 mm+, 5 paddles at 17 mm+), so it is compared with every paddle.
