The Prince Response Graphite Pickleball Paddle is unique and highly adaptable . The Response Graphite utilizes the same rounded-edge circular shape as Prince's popular Response Pro model resulting in more usable surface area, increased sweet spot size and reduced vibrational energy for a smoother shot and feel than tratitionally shaped paddles. The graphite surface provides enhanced touch and increased ball control, while the polymer core gives a smooth feel, soft touch on dink shots and plenty of power on under load on driving shots. The 7.6 – 8.0 oz weight range gives players enough strength to put away lobs but keeps it quick enough to handle dinks and volleys. Compared to the similar Prince Spectrum the Response features a slightly shorter head size and elongated handle for increased power and the ability to use a 2 handed backhand.
