Elongated vs. Widebody — Which One to Get?

The Elongated Pop N Treasure (SW 114.80, TW 5.98) is the reach-and-rip choice. Its lower twist weight keeps mishits manageable while the extended face gives you extra inches on wide balls and at the baseline. The Widebody (SW 118.15, TW 7.23) is heavier through the swing and delivers a more planted feel with a wider forgiving zone — perfect for players who want to drive every third shot with authority and don't mind a slightly heavier swing.

On-Court Performance

Both versions of the Pop N Treasure live up to the 'great power paddle' billing. Drives come off crisp and flat, and the durable grit surface generates enough topspin to keep hard shots in the court. The 16mm core provides a satisfying dwell that prevents the paddle from feeling like a trampoline — you stay in control even when swinging big. Resets were solid with both shapes, though the elongated's lower swing weight makes it slightly more responsive in fast hands exchanges.

Who Should Buy the Pop N Treasure?

  • Power-first players looking for value under $150
  • Baseline drivers who want pace with some spin on the ball
  • Players upgrading from a beginner paddle for the first time
  • Elongated fans wanting reach → choose the Elongated
  • Stability seekers who want a heavy, forgiving face → choose the Widebody

Verdict

The Pop N Treasure is a legitimately great power paddle for under $150. Both shapes deliver, so let your playing style decide which geometry fits you. Use code PLAYBOOK for 15% off either version.
