Performance Scores
On-Court Feel
Elongated head adds reach on serves and baseline drives; swing weight around 115 is real in fast hands battles — plan on blocking with prep, not last-second flicks.
Spin is the headline versus Aura elongated peel-ply: PermaGrit holds texture longer, so roll dinks and topspin thirds stay more honest week to week.
My brother found it heavy for pure kitchen rec; I liked it for singles-style sessions where reach and grit mattered more than hand speed.
Performance & Testing
The Spartus P1 Elongated went through our standard on-court protocol - drills, rec play, and at least one tournament match. Scores reflect consensus feedback, not a single reviewer's opinion.
Grit & Durability
PermaGrit holds texture longer than raw peel-ply competitors in our rotation — the main reason to step up from Friday-class faces.
Who It's For
Singles and aggressive baselines who accept swing weight for reach.
Skip for low twist-weight needs — P1 hybrid or Friday widebody are easier kitchen paddles.
