Never before has so much research and development gone into paddle development. The NEW Poach Advantage is the most advanced paddle in the market designed to take the game and you to the next level. The most technologically advanced paddle in the market today. Designed for those players who have (or tendency to have) tennis elbow, want a soft feeling control paddle.
Technology:
- Vibration Dampening Skin
- Eliminates vibration at the point of contact (at it's source) not lower within the paddle or via other objects placed inside the paddle that only stops it from traveling to the hand
- Counterweight Technology
- Lowers the center of mass (balance point) closer to your hand to 1) mitigate getting tennis elbow by making the paddle more balanced (not head heavy which is one of the main reasons tennis elbow develops) and 2) increase maneuverability (hand speed).
- Proprietary ControlPro ‘Black’ Polymer Core
- Creates the softest hitting paddle for those that like soft feeling paddles or have tendency for tennis elbow (mitigates vibration)
- Variable Release Technology
- The proprietary 6-layer skin produces more power the faster you swing (when you want it)
- Omni-directional Friction-based Texture
- 1) Roughness that spreads out in all directions to create more spin, 2) Surface 'friction' hits the upper limits / range allowed, and 3) softest skin (and core) that holds the ball longer (main factor in producing spin).
- Variable Flex Technology
- Designed to flex at the point of contact for more 'forgiving' shot making.
