Head Boom Team EX 2024

This paddle delivers crisp 13mm feel, spin-friendly low twist weight — a versatile option in an elongated shape.

Pros

  • +Elongated shape gives extra reach on defense, overheads, and two-handed backhands
  • +Thin core (13mm) gives a crisp, responsive feel with fast feedback
  • +Great value at $99.95 — cheaper than 96% of paddles (avg $190)

Cons

  • −Low stability — twist weight of 5.55 (bottom 10%) means off-center hits will twist more in your hand
  • −Narrower face means a smaller horizontal sweet spot
  • −Very thin core can feel harsh on mishits and may cause arm fatigue
