The Reserve Honeyfoam delivers a unique feel among foam-core paddles, balancing dwell time and responsiveness thanks to its three-foam architecture.

Its spin-oriented raw carbon face and manageable weight cater well to dynamic intermediate and advanced players looking to blend finesse with aggressive shotmaking.
