Graphite is used in the core of the Paddletek Tempest Wave II's Tempest PolyCore, which reduces vibrations while maintaining the paddle's lightweight design. Playing at the net is where this paddle shines. This paddle will appeal to those who take great pleasure in their strategic play and control. This model isn't what you need if you're searching for a power paddle. A significant improvement over many novice paddles is offered by the Tempest Wave II. This paddle is a great option for an intermediate player who wants to improve their accuracy and ball control given its affordability.
