• STANDARD FEATURES Xenon platform tennis paddles have a longer handle which is especially helpful for 2 handed backhands. Each paddle includes the maximum number of holes and the largest hole size allowed, all arranged in a symmetrical pattern for maximum benefit. The entire face of the paddle has grit coverage. A carbon fiber frame, specifically designed by an engineer, helps reduce arm and elbow pain. A medium firm EVA foam core assists in providing the right mix of control and "pop”.
• TIPS ON BALANCE POINT Balance is the mid-point at which the weight is evenly distributed between the handle and the head. A paddle with a heavier weight towards the head provides more power and makes it easier to control volleys at the net. Controlling drives is more of a challenge. The closer the weight is to the handle a player will need to swing their arm faster to create the power but it should be easier to control drives. Most Xenon paddles are evenly balanced for the best of both worlds.
• AVOID INJURY How many times have you hit with a paddle that either felt like you were hitting with a piece of cardboard or a 2" x 4" piece of lumber? Both can send vibrations and cause pain in the arm and elbow that can lead to tennis elbow and fatigue. A paddle should feel GOOD when you hit with it. With Xenon paddles, you’ll feel a solid, powerful paddle enabling you to control the ball while avoiding injury.
