Comparison with Perseus 3 16mm:
The main difference between the Perseus 3 14mm and 16mm versions lies in their core thickness. The 16mm paddle offers a slightly thicker core, translating to:
- More Power: The thicker core provides a bit more power behind your shots, ideal for aggressive baseliners who dominate with forceful smashes and volleys.
- Less Control: The trade-off for increased power is a slight reduction in control.
The 14mm version prioritizes a balance between power and control:
- Lighter Weight: Weighing in at 7.8 oz compared to the 16mm’s 8 oz average, the 14mm paddle offers greater maneuverability for quicker reflexes and faster swings.
- Enhanced Control: The thinner core provides a slightly better feel for the ball, allowing for more precise shot placement and touch shots.

This paddle is ideal for players who:
- Prioritize a balance between power and control.
- Value maneuverability and faster swing speeds.
- Appreciate a lighter weight paddle for extended gameplay comfort.
- Want a versatile paddle for all areas of the court.
