On-Court Performance
During on-court play and drill testing, the Havik 2 stood out for its clean, consistent response across the face. The 16mm core provides a plush dwell time that makes dinks and resets feel soft and controlled. At SW 113.27, it's nimble enough for quick hands exchanges but still carries enough mass to finish overhead smashes. The low TW of 5.76 means shots hit toward the edge of the face stay on target — a welcome quality for elongated paddles that can be prone to twist. Third-shot drops came off the paddle with a confident, predictable arc.
Who Should Buy the Havik 2?
- Elongated paddle fans who want a stable, low-twist feel
- Players developing a precise third-shot drop game
- Intermediate to advanced players seeking control without sacrificing reach
- Anyone coming from a heavy paddle who wants to speed up their hands
