Babolat
Baller +
Hybrid16mmGen 2
The Babolat Baller + is a 16 mm hybrid pickleball paddle. It generates low spin (17th percentile) with average power and low pop. It has a mid-range swing weight that balances power and maneuverability, but low twist weight, so off-center hits lose more pace. Overall it's a control-oriented profile that trades raw power for touch and placement.
