    Who each paddle is for

    Engage Pursuit Pro EX 12.7 Raw Carbon Fiber

    Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The standard shape rewards clean contact, the 12.7mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.

    Playing style: all-court

    Onix Summit C1

    Best for intermediate players (3.5-4.5) looking for a balanced upgrade who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 14mm core balances pop and control, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: balanced
