What these specs mean
- Core thickness
- Very thick cores (17 mm and up) push further toward softness and stability, usually at the cost of power.
- 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.
- Face
- This face blends materials, for example carbon with fiberglass or Kevlar, to balance feel, power and durability.
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.
