The Enhance DUO Hybrid LH uses the same 16mm EPP/EVA DuoFoam Ridge Core as the other DUO shapes, but puts it into a 16.25-inch by 7.75-inch hybrid with a 5.9-inch handle. Official specs list a 114–118 swing weight and 6.6+ twist weight, making it the balanced DUO option for two-handers. $155 with code PRH ($20 off $175).
PRH The Verdict
Long-handle DUO balance.
This is the DUO shape that makes the most sense if your left hand keeps running out of real estate on standard handles. After thorough on-court evaluation, the Enhance DUO Hybrid LH is a strong fit for two-handed backhand players who want duo feel without elongated sluggishness — see category scores below for power, control, spin, and feel.
If you're comparing it against other foam-core paddles, it's one of several great foam core paddles we've played this year.

Performance Scores
PRH On-Court Feel
The Hybrid LH keeps the dense DUO response while reducing some of the elongated’s head-heavy feel. The extra-long handle gives two-handed players room to work, and the hybrid face adds a little more stability than a pure elongated. It is not as forgiving as the widebody, but it has a better reach/handle package for players who attack with two hands.
Performance & Testing
The Enhance DUO Hybrid LH 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
Same DUO core warranty and raw T700 face. Long-term core confidence is better here than most budget foams, but grit retention still needs normal expectations.
Who It's For
Best for two-handed backhand players, all-court players, and anyone who wants DUO feel with a long handle. Skip if you want the biggest sweet spot, fastest hands, or the lowest Enhance price.
