You want plush control, big spin, and a dose of power on the bigger swings? This X Series Shapeshifter improves on the already classic paddle, and now it's in our original SX "Short" Widebody shape!

Just like the classic Shapeshifter, this elite paddle features the unique 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber surface on a unibody mold with foam edges to maximize the sweet spot. The Shapeshifter will wow with its top tier spin in all directions due to the flexibility of the wide triaxial weave, amaze with its stability and control because of the super strong 18K carbon fiber tows, and give a power boost for full swing finishes and ground strokes.

There are multiple layers on each side of the polypropylene core to create a unique blend of soft, but poppy touch. The top surface layer is that breakthrough ultra-durable, yet flexible 3D 18K cubic carbon fiber in a stunning triaxial weave shape (Toray brand). It's that stable, yet flexible 18K surface that increases the dwell time the ball spends on the paddle before it exits. The second layer is Toray brand T700 carbon fiber. The bottom layer touching the polypropylene core is flexible fiberglass, acting as the strong backstop rebound to bring a dose of power to your full swings and overhead finishes.

What does this all mean?

Plush touch for dinks, resets and the soft game
Intuitive ball placement with increased dwell time
Reduction in unwanted pop ups
Power boost on full swings

Chorus SX for a Noob

I am very pleased with this paddle. I am new to the sport and been looking, trying and researching a lot of paddles. I have a lot of skill development to focus on and I do not expect the paddle to take me to 4.5 over night. But it definitely helps me feel the ball on the face and control the shot much better. It helps me still get the ball over the net on my error and plenty of power if I crank it, mostly out. I have tried several paddles in this price range and this is my permanent paddle. I added some over-grip from them and felt awesome. No tennis elbow feeling like I was feeling on the others. I highly recommend this paddle.

I was amazed at the improved control and spin. So far it has been excellent.

Wide Body, best doubles shape.

Most of us play doubles, yet we listen to the hype surrounding elongated and hybrid paddles. If you are a 4.5+ player and play singles go elongated. I play with the 3.5 to 4.0 doubles crowd. I constantly watch players struggle to consistently control “power paddles”. Admittedly, the wide body look was off putting to me. I am glad I got past the look and tried the wide body - plenty of controllable power plus the most impressive huge sweet spot of any paddle you can ever hit!
