The 'Encore EX 6.0' is part of Engage's 'Thick Core' paddle line up; the only 'Thick Core' paddles in the market with power and a large sweet spot.
Paddles with thicker cores have more control and a softer feel at the point of contact, but as cores get thicker, the power and size of the sweet spot diminishes. Engage, known for their paddle engineering and innovation, created 'Core & Skin Dimensioning' to fix that issue. Engage's 'Thick Core' paddles have a large sweet spot and the right amount of power to put the ball away (while maintaining full control, balance and positioning).
The Encore EX 6.0 has the same dimensions as Engage's Poach line of paddles (16" x 8"), providing the EX with the perfect balance between reach, power and control.
