Overview
Improving on an already exceptional paddle design cannot be easy, however the good folks at Electrum have done exactly that with the Electrum Model E Elite! The same iconic Model E design is now available with some noticeable improvements. Setting the E Elite apart from prior iterations, is its Thermo-Formed Core, which improves paddle longevity, feel and energy return, along with an incredibly spin-friendly Raw T700 surface. A weight range of 8.0-8.3 oz. and elongated 16.5 in. overall length supplies much of the Model E Elite's power, with a 16mm. core width complementing that power with control. In addition, the Electrum Model E Elite receives a Foam Injection around the periphery of the core to further refine comfort, and maximize shot predictability. And wrapped around the E Elite's standard 4.25 in. handle size, is a full leather grip, with an extended 5.25 in. handle length providing enough room for a one, or two handed backhand, making the Model E Elite a formidable weapon for any skill set, or play style.
