What these specs mean
- Core thickness
- A 16 mm core is the most common choice for control. The extra depth absorbs more impact, which tends to make dinks and resets easier to keep low, with a little less pop.
- Core material
- Polypropylene honeycomb is the most widely used core. The plastic cells absorb impact, giving a quiet, soft and forgiving feel that suits control and touch.
- Shape
- A hybrid shape sits between a full elongated paddle and a wider, shorter one: a little extra length for reach, with a wider face than an elongated paddle.
- Face
- A raw carbon face leaves the carbon-fiber surface untreated. Its natural texture tends to grip the ball for spin, though texture can wear with heavy use.
These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.
Pro tour legality (UPA-A)
Amateur and USA Pickleball–sanctioned events accept paddles on the USA Pickleball list. PPA Tour and MLP pro events require UPA-A certification.
