Electrum Model S — Review
The Electrum Model S is the control-minded sibling of the Model E, and it brings real spin at a gentler price. The carbon face grips the ball while the thicker core keeps things steady. I found it easy to slow the game down without losing my placement.
Specs at a glance
| Core | 16mm honeycomb polymer |
| Face | Carbon fiber |
| Shape | Standard (16" x 8") |
| Weight | 7.8-8.2 oz |
| Length / Width | 16" x 8" |
| Grip | 5" length, 4.25" circumference |
| Best for | Control-focused players who want spin at a fair price |
What stood out
- Spin-friendly carbon. The face bit hard on cuts and kept my rolls dropping in.
- Steady thick core. The 16mm build smoothed out pace and made resets calm.
- Fair price for the class. You get control-carbon performance without the top-tier cost.
What to weigh
- Quiet power. Baseline put-aways need a full swing to finish.
- Plain shape. The standard frame is functional but not built for extra reach.
Who it's for
Control players who want spin without spending pro-level money will like this. It suits league and rec players working on placement.
Verdict
Best control value A sensible control paddle that spins well for the money.
