Built for the Two-Handed Game.

The 214 Twill is purpose-built for players whose second hand is a fundamental part of their game. Its true 5.75-inch handle provides the space and leverage needed for two-handed backhands, aggressive drives, and confident returns while the elongated shape extends your reach across the court.

Many elongated paddles gain reach at the expense of balance, touch, or stability. The 214 uses TrueFeel™ Tuned-Mass Sidewall Technology to strategically distribute urethane and mass around the perimeter, creating a solid, connected response that stays composed against incoming pace.

A raw Toray twill carbon face over unidirectional T1100 carbon backing delivers high spin, controlled dwell, and dependable power. It rewards full acceleration through drives and serves while retaining the touch and predictability required for drops, resets, and blocks.

Built start to finish in Michigan, the 214 gives two-handed players the handle space, leverage, and stability to attack confidently without sacrificing control at the kitchen.

Who it’s for:

  • Players who regularly use a two-handed backhand
  • Players who need room for both hands to fully engage
  • Players who want added leverage on drives, serves, and returns
  • Players who prefer elongated reach with a balanced, connected response

FAQ

Can I modify the grip easily?

Yes, the stock grip is the perfect base for adding an overgrip.

Want to add a Hesacore grip? No problem, it will easily go over the stock grip - you may however want to take off the original grip to keep the final circumfernce from getting too big.

To remove the stock grip, simply snip the end with scissors and then peel it like a banana.

Which paddle should I get?

Choose the 515 Uni if you want more power with a quicker feel off the face. It’s also a bit lighter (8.1 oz) and faster at the net.

Choose the 515 Twill if you prefer slightly more control and stability, especially if you already generate plenty of power yourself. At 8.4 oz with a slightly higher twist weight, it offers a bit more forgiveness on off-center hits.

Bottom line: If you want the most power and speed, choose the Uni. If you’re a powerful player looking for more control and precision, choose the Twill. Both deliver elite-level spin and performance.
