What these specs mean

Core thickness
Thinner cores (about 13 mm and under) typically feel firmer and send the ball off the face faster: more power and a crisper feel, with less touch on soft shots.

These are typical tendencies of each construction. Weight, balance, surface treatment and each brand's specific materials also change how a paddle plays.

How it compares

  • Thicker than 0% of the 3,494 approved paddles with a listed core thickness.
  • Other cores: 148 of the 3,599 approved paddles with a listed core material (4%).
  • 1 of 36 approved other-core paddles first approved in 2023.
  • Other faces: 83 of the 3,599 approved paddles with a listed face material (2%).

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.
