INTRODUCTION
The new Filth Hybrid paddle takes everything you love about the elongated Filth and gives it a slight twist—literally. It’s a touch shorter and narrower, but with the same 5.5″ handle length. The result? A paddle built for power, precision, and quick hands at the net.
If you’re an advanced player looking to amp up your drives without compromising feel, this might be your next go-to. And while it may seem like you’re giving up some sweet spot due to the smaller face—think again. The twist weight tells a different story.

A CLOSER LOOK AT SWING VS. TWIST
Here’s where things get interesting. The Filth Hybrid features a high twist weight combined with a low swing weight—a rare and valuable combo. Normally, higher twist weight comes with a higher swing weight, but that’s not the case here.
What does that mean in real play? Faster hands, more maneuverability, and excellent stability on off-center hits.

PERFORMANCE
Compared to power paddles like the Invader, the Filth Hybrid holds its own—and then some. It delivers explosive drives while remaining incredibly forgiving on mis-hits (not that you ever miss, right?).
The feel is similar to the original Filth: excellent touch for dinks, third-shot drops, resets, and firefights. Where it really shines is in fast exchanges. That high twist weight keeps the paddle stable, even when a ball comes screaming at you and catches the edge of the paddle face.
BOTTOM LINE
This is a paddle tailor-made for advanced players who want speed and power without sacrificing control. The rare combo of low swing weight and high twist weight makes it ideal for aggressive, fast-paced play—and still solid for soft hands at the net.
