This means players enjoy nearly identical exit velocity whether striking the ball in the middle towards the top of the paddle or closer to the throat, promoting confidence and repeatability on every swing. A peak exit velocity of 38.95 MPH gives it a lively yet controlled feel, while the light swing weight of 779.88 oz·in² allows players to swing freely and react quickly without fatigue. The balance point of 8.71 inches provides smooth handling and control, and a spin rate of 1119.89 RPM offers precise, controlled spin when needed. Overall, the Warrior BluCore Max 16mm is ideal for players who want a stable, forgiving paddle that swings easily, offering consistent power, control, and confidence from anywhere on the court.
