Know before you buy
The suspended core design separates the paddle's center from the frame, which creates a noticeable trampoline effect. This results in more explosive energy return on your shots and a distinct, solid feel compared to traditional solid-core paddles.
Yes, the 3K Woven Raw Carbon Fiber face is specifically engineered for texture and grip. This surface technology helps you generate significant spin on both serves and drives.
The edgeless construction maximizes the usable hitting surface, giving you a larger sweet spot. It also improves aerodynamics, allowing for faster swing speeds and better stability during quick exchanges.
A 14mm core strikes a balance between power and control. It is thick enough to provide a stable, dampened feel, but thin enough to maintain the responsiveness and pop needed for aggressive play.
Because of the specialized surface technology, it is recommended to use the included maintenance tool to clean the face regularly. Keeping the carbon fiber free of debris ensures you maintain consistent spin performance over time.
Yes, this paddle is USAPA approved, meaning it meets all official standards for size, surface, and construction required for competitive tournament play.
