Who is the Engage Pursuit Pro EX Pickleball Paddle for?
At a listed 8.1 oz it sits in the midweight band (about 7.8 to 8.2 oz) that suits most adult players, balancing hand speed against stability.
The thin 13 mm core plays fast and powerful, better for drivers than for players who live on soft shots.
The widebody shape gives a larger, more forgiving sweet spot and higher twist weight, at the cost of a little reach.
A carbon fiber face generally grips the ball well for spin and feels more controlled than fiberglass.
