X-TREME Floating Honeycomb 16 mm Core & Clean Touch

Equipped with NOX’s X-TREME floating honeycomb core in a plush 16 mm thickness, this paddle provides outstanding vibration dampening and extended dwell time. The core construction delivers a clean, connected ball feel that minimizes unforced errors and absorbs heavy impact, giving control-oriented players complete confidence during delicate kitchen exchanges.

Built with a classic square/widebody profile (16 inches in length by 8 inches in width), the Tempus 16 mm offers an expansive, forgiving sweet spot across the entire face. Paired with a massive Twist Weight of 7.4, it delivers top-tier torsional stability, ensuring off-center defensive blocks and emergency digs stay true and accurate.

Textured T700 Raw Carbon Surface & Spin Friction

The hitting surface utilizes premium textured T700 Raw Carbon Fiber, which bites into the ball to generate heavy topspin, slice returns, and controlled angle placements. This grit surface gives tactical players complete dominion over ball trajectory and tempo.
