Incredible Technology
REVIEW OF THE HUDEF 6.8 PADDLE HUDEF has introduced a totally new technology for paddle construction, and that is the “through-rod engineering.” Instead of a one-, two-, or three-layer honeycomb, there are rods running the length of the paddle as well as a polypropylene honeycomb. Second, the paddle face uses .03 mm “dimples” instead of grit to provide spin. Unlike grit, these will not wear out. A thin layer of carbon fiber topped by Kevlar provide a strong surface, and the one piece construction minimizes vibration. Performance: Feel/performance on dinking – No vibration and very good control, both straight on and cross court. Easy to put top spin on cross court dinks. Performance on ground strokes – Here, given the thickness and the weight, I was very surprised. I expected to be unable to hit hard, deep strokes but I was wrong. It may be my imagination, but I felt that the construction of the paddle allowed me to hit hard, low shots with a lot of spin. Unlike the traditional paddles with all honeycomb, there is not “trampoline” effect. Performance on serves – Easy to get my serve deep, again with top spin and side spin. Performance on volleying – the light weight makes it ideal for close up battles. Summary: I really like this paddle! The light weight and technology make it a great paddle for any level of player.
