Supercourt HX 16mm

The Supercourt HX is the middle-ground answer in the X-series. The hybrid shape gives you most of the EX's reach without the slower hand speed, and a slightly wider face than the EX means the sweet spot is a little more forgiving when you miss center. Drives still load up cleanly, drops stay tight, and resets don't fight you. Pop on roll volleys is solid without trampolining. The one I'd reach for if I had to play a long session and didn't want to overthink shape choice.
