%The Ethos SCORIA Elongated is a thermoformed control paddle that balances solid stability with impressive spin generation and durable build quality. While it delivers a noticeable power bump over older raw carbon models, its narrower face and six-inch handle make it a natural fit for players coming from tennis who want to lean into two-handed backhands. It provides a reliable feel for placement and drops at a reasonable price point, making it worth considering if you want a longer handle without breaking the bank. Just keep in mind that you will need to adjust to the narrower hitting surface during fast hand battles.
