Pickle's Take
12.7mm core, fiberglass face. Pop on demand without giving up the soft game. Best for bangers and tennis converts who want easy putaways.

Where it sits
| Spec | Phoenix Genesis | Position | Compared with (our database) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weight | 7.6 oz (midpoint of 7.4–7.8 oz) | lighter than 94% (3% same) | 34 other 13 mm paddles |
| Length | 16 in | shorter than 53% (18% same) | 34 other 13 mm paddles |
| Handle length | 5 in | shorter than 82% (18% same) | 33 other 13 mm paddles |
| Weight within Paddletek | 7.6 oz | lightest | 12 paddles from Paddletek |
Too few paddles like it for a fair comparison (2 standard paddles at 13 mm), so it is compared with all 13 mm paddles.
