Grade D — Heavy Use (below 50%)
This paddle has been well played. The face retains its RPM Grit texture and is still functional for spin, but both edges show significant cosmetic wear. The top edge has chipping and roughness from repeated court contact, which is common on edgeless unibody paddles like this. Lead/tungsten tape has been added along the edges by the previous owner for extra stability and plow-through. A Drop Shot aftermarket overgrip has been installed. No cracks or delamination. The paddle still plays and hits hard, but the cosmetic wear is noticeable. Priced accordingly.
Specs:
Brand: Babolat
Model: STRKR+
Core: 13mm X5 Polypropylene Honeycomb with SWC Pure Feel vibration dampening
Face: Biaxial 3K Woven Carbon Fiber with RPM Grit texture (max USAP friction)
Construction: MonoMolded DuraTech unibody (edgeless)
Length: 16.7"
Width: 7.2"
Handle: 5.5"
Grip: 4" circumference
Weight: ~8.1 oz
USAP Approved
Best for: Aggressive offensive players who live on drives and want maximum power and spin from the baseline. The 13mm core and elongated shape generate extreme pop. The extended 5.5" handle is ideal for two-handed backhands and singles play. Weapon of choice for APP #1 Chris Haworth.
On a personal note, this was my personal paddle; worked very well, not sure about now.
