What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Core thickness
The 1 Classic 14mm has the thinner core: 14mm against 16mm. Thinner cores generally hit harder with a firmer feel; thicker cores absorb more pace, which helps dinks and resets.
Price
The 1 Classic 16mm costs $70 less right now: $110 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21) against $180 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21).
What's the same, or can't be compared
- Shape: Both are elongated shapes at 16.5" × 7.25".
- Weight: Both are listed at 7.95 oz.
- Swingweight: Swingweight is not published for either paddle, so we can't compare it.
- Twistweight: Twistweight is not published for either paddle, so we can't compare it.
- Handle: Both have a 5.5" handle.
- Face and core: Same face (raw T700 carbon fiber) and core (polypropylene honeycomb).
- Warranty: 12 months on both.
