• Comparison with Perseus 3 16mm:

  The main difference between the Perseus 3 14mm and 16mm versions lies in their core thickness. The 16mm paddle offers a slightly thicker core, translating to:

  • More Power: The thicker core provides a bit more power behind your shots, ideal for aggressive baseliners who dominate with forceful smashes and volleys.

  • Less Control: The trade-off for increased power is a slight reduction in control.

  • The 14mm version prioritizes a balance between power and control:

    • Lighter Weight: Weighing in at 7.8 oz compared to the 16mm s 8 oz average, the 14mm paddle offers greater maneuverability for quicker reflexes and faster swings.

    • Enhanced Control: The thinner core provides a slightly better feel for the ball, allowing for more precise shot placement and touch shots.
