It is softer and more forgiving, but it will not put away a ball the way the foam-core paddles here do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow we rate this paddle\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe power, control, spin, forgiveness and manoeuvrability scores are \u003cstrong\u003ePickleball Gear Co.'s own assessment based on the paddle's published construction\u003c\/strong\u003e — core thickness, face material, core type, shape and weight. They are not lab measurements and not player review scores. A thicker core scores higher on control and lower on power; a rougher carbon face scores higher on spin; an elongated shape scores lower on forgiveness than a wide-body.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Joysent","offers":[{"title":"Halo X5","offer_id":53857082179898,"sku":"14:10#Halo x5","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1013\/1819\/7562\/files\/halo-x5-raw-carbon-pickleball-paddle-hero.jpg?v=1785969323","url":"https:\/\/pickleballgearco.com\/products\/halo-x5-raw-carbon-pickleball-paddle","provider":"Pickleball Gear Co.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
