Pickleball Apes Harmony V
Specs Recap
Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Singles Power. The Harmony V's 9.23-inch stock balance is 58.31% of its 15.83-inch length. This paddle's stock balance sits in DinkFlow's high-plow power window. At 8.0 oz it is a balanced static weight that suits most recreational players, with a thicker core that lengthens dwell time and improves control on resets.
↓ lowers stock balance (handle weight near the butt cap). ↑ raises stock balance (head weight at 12 o'clock). Distances assume the simplest single-position shift; real placements vary, and the DinkFlow Paddle Tuner simulates lead tape and counterweight changes against this exact spec.
