What Our Paddle Lab
Experts Say
The Engage Pursuit Alpha Elongated 16mm is built for players who are looking for power and some control, with its peak exit velocity of 40.88mph. The balance point of 9.40 provides the paddle with an evenly balanced feel. It also features a swing weight of 880.38 oz/sq in, which puts it right at the average of the category. The metrics provide a fairly easy and quick swinging paddle for any player. The twist weight falls in the more maneuverable side of our data at 26.10 oz/sq in, so it can result in a few more erratic shots on off-center hits, while the consistency of the paddle has a lower standard deviation of 2.96, which does make the paddle land more towards the precise end of the scale. The more precise the paddles' consistency is allows for less variance in exit velocity, making it easier to reach the max power potential of the power. While spin comes in lower on the scale at 602.82, with the correct swing of the paddle, any player can still generate spin with the paddle. The Pursuit Alpha 16mm Elongated is a great option for players who are looking for solid power and a well-balanced paddle weight.
