Hyperion CAS 16: reviews and opinions
FORWRD recommends it to 3.5–4.5 recreational players who play several times a week: a thick, forgiving core, a sandblasted face that adds spin and a modest price. It is, however, a heavy paddle (8.1–8.5 oz), not recommended for players with elbow or shoulder problems, and the grit wears with use. It is a 2021 model, surpassed by newer Hyperions.
Strengths
- Affordable for a Hyperion
- Thick, forgiving core

It suits you if
