Its DuPont Kevlar face absorbs impact energy at contact, giving you a softer, more dwell-rich feel for surgical dinks, drops, and resets around the kitchen — without losing the crisp response you need when you decide to attack.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe thermoformed build fuses the Kevlar face to the 16mm polypropylene honeycomb core into one rigid unit, expanding the sweet spot and keeping the paddle consistent across the face. Foam-injected EVA edge walls dampen vibration and forgive off-center contact, and the hybrid shape blends traditional maneuverability with modern stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt 7.9oz with a balanced weight distribution, the Control stays quick in hand battles and steady on blocks.
