Where this paddle fits
Factory fit: Banger / Singles Power boundary. The Q2's 9.53-inch stock balance is 57.76% of its 16.50-inch length. This paddle sits near the boundary between DinkFlow target windows. Its primary tuning reference is Singles Power, based on the nearest target center. At 7.7 oz it is a lighter static weight that favors fast hands over plow-through, with a thinner core that transmits feedback faster on counters and put-aways.
↓ 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.
