Oversize paddles have much more surface area versus a traditional shape paddle which increase the sweet spot and minimize off center miss hits. Oversized paddles are longer and not as wide as a traditional shape to provide an extended reach. Elongated and Blade paddles are considered as Oversized paddles. Generally Elongated paddles are considered to have a face more than 16" long while blade paddles are 17" long with a more compact sweet spot vs elongated but they allow for more reach.
