The O-Zone Pro (Grip Guard) has long been a favorite among tournament and league players. Weighing in at 375g, the new O-Zone Pro is 10 grams (.4oz) lighter than last year's model but it is still designed as a control paddle for players with a high swing speed. The mid core density provides an excellent balance between power and control while the smaller head size offers enhanced all-around maneuverability. A standout feature on all O-Zone models is the longer handle which provides a better grip on the two-handed backhand.
