What's actually different

Generated from the brands' published specs. Nothing here comes from lab testing; see how we read specs.

  • Core thickness

    The Sweet Spot Max 2 13mm has the thinner core: 13mm against 16mm. Thinner cores generally hit harder with a firmer feel; thicker cores absorb more pace, which helps dinks and resets.

  • Price

    The Sweet Spot Max 2 13mm costs $20 less right now: $70 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21) against $90 at JustPaddles (checked Oct 21).

What's the same, or can't be compared

  • Shape: Both are standard shapes at 16" × 8".
  • Weight: Both are listed at 8.2 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 5.25" handle.
  • Face and core: Same face (T700 Raw Carbon) and core (PP Honeycomb).
  • Warranty: 3 months on both.
