A practical carbon-fibre upgrade for players who want control and spin—with the extra handle length for a two-handed backhand.
The T700 Pro is for improving players who are ready to move beyond a starter paddle but do not want to jump straight into premium-performance pricing. Its 16 mm polypropylene honeycomb core gives it a more settled, controlled response for drops, blocks and resets, while the frosted T700 carbon-fibre face helps you put more shape on serves, returns and dinks.
Its point of difference is the 140 mm handle. That extra length makes it a particularly sensible choice for players who use, or are learning, a two-handed backhand. At 210–230 g, it remains manoeuvrable enough for quick exchanges at the kitchen line without feeling overly light or insubstantial.
Best for
Improving players who want a carbon-fibre paddle with a longer handle, reliable control and room to develop more spin.

Choose this if
You use a two-handed backhand, or want the option to develop one.
You want a controlled 16 mm paddle rather than a thin, lively, power-first feel.
You are stepping up from a starter or fibreglass paddle.
You want better spin and touch without moving into the £80+ performance range.
You prefer a paddle that feels quick enough for regular doubles play.
Consider another paddle if
You want the best-value all-court carbon option and do not need the longer handle: choose the LEATOU Monarch T700.
You want a more control-specialist paddle for dinks, drops and resets: choose the Prism Pro 16 mm.
Trade-off: The longer handle gives useful leverage and two-handed-backhand room, but players seeking maximum power or a more specialised premium feel should look higher in the range.
