Versix RAW 6C+ Elongated Paddle

Introduction

The Versix RAW 6C+ Elongated Paddle features an elongated shape with an extended handle—boasting almost 6 inches of usable length. This makes it perfect for players transitioning from tennis or those developing the increasingly important two-handed backhand. The Versix RAW 6C+ is a Gen2 paddle featuring a thermo-formed frame and foam-injected perimeter, which increases the sweet spot and enhances forgiveness and control. Its T700 raw carbon fiber face and tightly woven resin peel-ply texture provide players with access to elite spin and significant power.

FYI: “Peel Ply”

Peel ply is a term commonly used in whitewater kayaking. When repairing a carbon/Kevlar boat, a carbon sheet is applied, followed by a Kevlar sheet, and then one or more layers of peel ply. This results in a very sturdy and durable surface.

Overview

Around the net and on third shot drops, the 6C+ performed quite well. The feel was soft and forgiving, with no vibration transmitted up the arm. On drives and serves, the paddle is not a powerhouse but provides adequate power for hard ground strokes. It is designed to combine admirable power with excellent control, rather than being a purely power-focused paddle.

Summary

If you’re in the market for a well-rounded paddle that supports a variety of play styles, the Versix RAW 6C+ is a compelling choice. From aggressive drives to precise control at the net and even a surprising amount of spin control, it delivers professional-grade features at a mid-range price.

Cost

Here is the best part – the paddle sells for $74.99. At that price, you might expect a knock-off paddle from China, but that is not the case. The Versix RAW 6C+ Elongated Paddle is worth every penny and could likely sell for more.

In conclusion, the Versix RAW 6C+ Elongated Paddle is an excellent option for players seeking a versatile, high-performing paddle without breaking the bank.
