Swingweight - why is this so important. What to know

The higher the swingweight, the harder it feels to swing the paddle. This can result in fatigue or arm pain for some. For hands battles, higher swingweights will result in slower hands. In short, if you find that you want to be faster with your hands, a lower swingweight paddle will help. If you want more power on your drives, a higher swingweight paddle will give more plow through. You just have to see what works best for your game.
