• Face: textured raw carbon
• Core: honeycomb, 14 mm or 16 mm
• Shape: flared, aerodynamic
• Handle: thermoformed 3D carbon, elongated
• Grip: 4.5″

The Double Black Diamond Control is built for players who win with placement. Its raw carbon face grips the ball for reliable spin, and the flared shape widens the sweet spot compared with a traditional elongated paddle.

TENVINA’s Hercules Pro uses a four-layer T700SC carbon surface hot-pressed into a matte texture, then thermoforms the edges with three carbon layers and foam injection to enlarge the sweet spot.

Two shapes are offered: THRUST, an elongated offensive paddle with a 140 mm handle, and POISE, a wider defensive shape with a 133 mm handle. That choice lets buyers match the paddle to how they actually play. Thermoformed with foam-injected edges.
