What's actually different
Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.
Shape
Both are elongated shapes, at 16.5" × 7.5" for the 3X Series 16mm and 16.5" × 7.25" for the 1X Series 16mm.
Handle
The 1X Series 16mm has the longer handle: 5.5" against 5.25", which leaves more room for a two-handed backhand.
What's the same, or can't be compared
- Core thickness: Both have a 16mm core.
- 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.
- Face and core: Same face (T700 Toray carbon fiber (gritty)) and core (not published).
- Price: Same price right now: $150 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21).
- Warranty: 12 months on both.
