The Chapman C5 Elongated 16mm is built for players who want explosive power without sacrificing a dense, controlled response. Designed with a modern elongated profile and a performance-driven construction, the C5 delivers stability, feel, and confidence from baseline drives to hands battles at the kitchen.

 

Core Technology

 

At the center of the C5 is a 16mm Dual-Density Floating EPP Foam Core, surrounded by a precision band of EVA foam. This layered internal construction enhances dwell time and energy return while expanding the effective sweet spot. The result is a paddle that feels solid on contact, absorbs vibration, and remains responsive under pressure.

 

Surface Construction

 

The face features three layers of raw carbon fiber, delivering natural grit for spin generation and a connected feel on every shot. The carbon layering provides a controlled response on resets and dinks while maintaining the stiffness needed for aggressive drives and counters.

 

Performance Profile

 

  • 16mm Core Thickness – Balanced blend of power and control
  • Dual-Density Floating EPP Core + EVA Foam Perimeter – Enhanced stability and sweet spot expansion
  • Triple-Layer Raw Carbon Fiber Face – Spin, durability, and consistent feedback
  • Enlarged Sweet Spot – Forgiving yet precise
  • 5.5” Handle Length – Ideal for two-handed backhands and added leverage

 

Who It’s For

 

The C5 is ideal for players at all levels, from competitive amateurs to professionals, who want to generate pace without losing a dense, connected feel. It rewards aggressive play but remains composed in soft-game situations.
