The Pulse E is tailored for players who prioritize reach and leverage on the court. Its elongated 17-inch design, with a narrower 7-inch width, is complemented by a longer 6.25-inch handle—perfect for two-handed backhands and extended reach during defensive play. The combination of a poly aramid fiber surface and the narrow-cell honeycomb core offers a firm feel with the potential for impressive spin.
