Learning the Widebody

After primarily using elongated paddles (and one hybrid), I bought two widebody paddles to gauge the differences in shapes. Both from Enhance, I purchased the Turbo MPP and Duo. Overall, I’m liking the maneuverability of the widebodies. Movement doesn’t feel hinged or staccato – just continuous, harmonious motion.

While the length difference between an elongated and widebody doesn’t seem significant, I have missed a few shots while reaching out with a widebody, so I guess the difference is real.

In my opinion, the Duo feels more grabby and gritty than the Turbo, but the Turbo glides more easily for me. The static weight of the Turbo is slightly higher than the Duo, but I’m guessing the swing weight of the Turbo is less since in hand, the Turbo is easier to move.

All in all, both are solid paddles, but for the price and feel, I prefer the Turbo MPP widebody over the Duo widebody. But, I’m not yet ready to use wide bodies over elongated shapes.

Enhance Turbo MPP Widebody Is Here!

I’m not a paddle reviewer, but yet here I am… again. This time with the Enhance Turbo MPP in the widebody shape. I’ve been main-ing the elongated version for some time, liking its pop, power, and overall easy performance. Majority of my paddles have been elongated, so I wanted to try something different.

Although both from Enhance and both MPP foam, the elongated and widebody sound completely different. The widebody hits with a lower bassy tone compared to the higher pitch of the elongated. The overall feel of the hits are similar, but the widebody doesn’t pack as much of a punch. The ball doesn’t seem to launch off the face like the elongated.

What I do like about the widebody is the weight distribution of this shape. While I’m still learning how to flick, the motion had always felt choppy when moving the paddle head from down to the finished flick position. But with the widebody, the motion feels more natural and smooth. I think practicing flicks with the widebody will develop that shot’s muscle memory faster. Then I can graduate that flick motion to an elongated paddle.

As a widebody, the paddle is shorter, and I mis-hit or even totally missed shots off to the side, so I have to get used to that shorter reach. But overall, I enjoyed the first play impression. It’s a Turbo MPP but also a different Turbo MPP.
