Taking paddle quality and performance to yet another level Engage introduces the Pursuit Pro1 Elongated! Among the subtle but noticeable improvements, Engage slightly modifies their elongated MX shape to include a rounded/convex tip of the paddle face, along with extending the handle length to 5.875 in. Beneath its ultra-spin friendly Raw T700 Carbon surface is an entirely new 13mm. MachPro polymer core, and is the most significant change made to the Pursuit Pro1 Elongated. The updated core material delivers plenty of core power, with Engage's foam injected Barrier Edge Technology, helping to both maximize the size of the Pro1 Elongated's sweet spot, and focus the energy return to the ball for pinpoint shot precision. Protecting the edges and improving durability, the vinyl edge guard (Uniform Guard Technology) also better distributes the force and vibration created at contact of the ball. Exclusive to the Pursuit Pro1 is the Variable Release 2.0 Technology, which allows the paddle to flex, and the ball to dwell on the face, under direction of a more offensive level of paddle speed, and obediently firms up when applying a softer touch. To further its all-court capability, the Pursuit Pro1 Elongated features a head light balance, along with the option of a 7.6 - 8.3 oz. range of weight for a high degree of paddle agility, stability, or a blend of both. Whether you are an avid recreational, or seasoned tour level player, the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Elongated is a must, if premium paddle quality, feel, and spin potential is a consideration.
