What these specs mean

Core thickness
A mid-thickness core (about 14 to 15 mm) sits between the two common builds: a bit more pop than 16 mm, a bit more cushion than 13 mm.
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 widebody shape maximizes face width for the largest sweet spot, giving up some reach.
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.
