• Shapes: Flash (16.2″ x 7.7″), V7 (16.5″ x 7.5″) and more

The V-SOL Pro moves away from the traditional honeycomb core. Vatic Pro uses a full EPP foam core wrapped by an EVA outer ring, a design meant to add power without sacrificing durability.

You can choose a wider Flash shape (16.2 x 7.7 inches) or an elongated V7 (16.5 x 7.5 inches). The 4.125-inch grip suits players who like to adjust their grip quickly between forehand and backhand. About 8.1 oz.

• Face: T700 CarbonFusion raw carbon fiber
• Core: Rev-Power polymer honeycomb, 13 mm
• Weight: 7.7–8.0 oz
• Size: 16.4″ x 7.4″

The SLK Halo Power XL is Selkirk’s affordable route into raw carbon. It combines a T700 CarbonFusion face with a 13 mm Rev-Power honeycomb core, which keeps the paddle lively for drives and put-aways.

The elongated XL shape (16.4 x 7.4 inches) and 5.75-inch handle add reach and leverage. That geometry trades some sweet spot width for extra power, so it suits players who already make fairly clean contact. 7.7–8.0 oz.

The Agassi Heat Vision brings JOOLA’s Agassi shape, with the sweet spot extended toward the top, to a lower price point.

• Core: 100% EPP foam with EVA foam ring (no honeycomb)
• Face: raw T700 carbon fiber, triple-layer texture
• Build: thermoformed unibody with foam-injected walls
• Thickness: 16 mm
• Elongated handle for two-handed backhands

Roore’s Gen 4 paddle replaces the honeycomb with a 100% EPP foam core and an EVA perimeter ring. The brand says the solid foam resists core crush and dead spots that can develop in honeycomb paddles.

A thermoformed unibody with foam-injected walls and a raw T700 carbon face adds stability and spin, and the foam gives a quieter, more muted sound than typical honeycomb paddles. Listed under $50 at the time of writing.

• Handle: 5.6″ length, 4.25″ circumference

The Signature Pro is one of the few paddles in its class that lists swing weight (116) and twist weight (6.95), helpful numbers for players comparing stability and maneuverability.

Its MaxGrit fiberglass surface adds traction for spin and dampens vibration, while the 13 mm polypropylene core keeps the response lively. The 16.5 x 7.5-inch shape is slightly elongated for reach. Easy pop.
