Why your last paddle hurt your arm

On contact, vibration travels from the paddle face, through the handle, up your wrist toward your elbow.

Hollow honeycomb cores - standard even in $250+ paddles - pass that shockwave straight through, and repeated exposure is behind the sharp rise in arm strain among players over 45.

Longplay's core is solid - a 16mm slab of engineered foam with nothing hollow inside. Like a car's suspension, it absorbs the shock before it reaches you.

Yes — there's no honeycomb inside to crush or go dead. The core is solid foam edge to edge, so there's nothing hollow to collapse the way legacy paddles do.
Raw carbon grit does wear with play over time, the same as on any raw-carbon paddle — that's true of every brand, not just this one. How long yours lasts depends on play frequency and surface.
It's engineered to reduce the vibration that travels into your wrist and elbow on contact. It's not a medical device, and it's not a substitute for proper technique or rest — if you're dealing with persistent pain, talk to a professional.
No — the foam core has a longer dwell time and a larger, more uniform sweet spot, which most players find gives comparable pop with a softer feel, not less power.
Players who want to keep competing without their equipment working against their joints — particularly players managing early tennis elbow, wrist strain, or shoulder fatigue from higher swing-weight paddles.
