The Prince Spectrum Graphite Pickleball Paddle has a rare shape that brings exceptional benefits to your game. Its 8-1/4” wide face utilizes the same rounded-edge circular shape as Prince's top-end Spectrum Pro model resulting in more usable surface area, increased sweet spot size and reduced vibrational energy for a smoother shot and feel than tratitionally shaped paddles. Whether you hit directly in the center or closer to the edges of the paddle, you'll see and feel the difference versus traditionally more square shaped paddles. The graphite face material provides enhanced ball control and further improves consistency across the face of the paddle. On the inside, a polymer honeycomb core helps to minimize vibrations from impact for a smoother feel, increase control on soft shots and good load and power on hard driving strikes. A 7.7 – 8.1 oz weight range is ideal for staying quick during volley exchanges but still provides enough power to put away winners. Compared to the similar Prince Response the Spectrum features a larger head size and slightly shorter handle for increased soft control and sweet spot size.
