    Pickle's Take

    11mm core, raw carbon fiber with Spin Fusion face. Pop on demand without giving up the soft game. Best for bangers and tennis converts who want easy putaways.

    Too few paddles like it for a fair comparison (3 elongated paddles at 11–12 mm, 5 paddles at 11–12 mm), so it is compared with every paddle.
