    Who each paddle is for

    Harrow Peak XP

    Best for advanced power players (4.0+) who can manage a hot face who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The elongated shape extends your reach at the kitchen line, the 13mm core delivers high pop with a tighter touch window, and the face surface keeps spin honest without overdoing it.

    Playing style: power, spin

    Vatic Pro V-Sol Power Bloom 16mm (Widebody)

    Best for 3.5+ players who prioritize control and reach who play with a balanced two-handed/one-handed mix. The widebody profile gives you a generous sweet spot, the 16mm core gives you a soft touch window, and the raw carbon face bites on spin shots.
