Elongated Paddles
Elongated paddles have a longer shape with a narrower face, giving players greater reach and a longer swing path. These paddles are designed for players who want more power, especially in baseline rallies. Their design allows for more leverage on the ball, which can help generate more powerful shots.

Pros
More Power: The extended length provides more leverage, which helps generate more power on shots, especially from the baseline.
Greater Reach: Elongated paddles allow players to cover more of the court, making them ideal for reaching those tricky shots that would otherwise be out of reach.
Better for Offensive Play: The length allows you to hit the ball with a more powerful stroke, making it great for players who focus on putting pressure on their opponents.

Cons
Smaller Sweet Spot: The narrower shape typically means a smaller sweet spot, which can make the paddle less forgiving on off-center hits.
Less Maneuverability: The longer length can make the paddle harder to maneuver quickly, especially during rapid exchanges at the net.
More Fatigue: With the added length, the paddle might feel heavier or less maneuverable, potentially leading to fatigue over extended play sessions
