Power or Control? The choice comes down to core thickness. Choose Power Series (Thin Core) for pop and hand speed, or Control Series (Thick Core) for stability and spin.

Paddle Guide: 14mm vs 16mm

The biggest confusion in pickleball is core thickness. Here is the simple rule: Thinner = Power. Thicker = Control.

1. Power Series (10mm - 14mm)

Paddles with a thinner core feel stiffer. The ball spends less time on the face and "pops" off instantly. This is great for players who want to drive the ball past opponents or have quick hands at the net. Ideal for singles players or aggressive doubles players.

2. Control Series (16mm - 19mm)

Paddles with a thicker core absorb more energy. The ball "dwells" on the face longer, giving you more time to aim. This provides a softer feel, massive sweet spot, and better blocking ability. Ideal for resetting the point and the soft dinking game.

Pro Tip: Most pros are moving towards 16mm (Control) paddles because the game has slowed down. They generate their own power with swing speed but rely on the paddle for stability.

Common Questions

What is Raw Carbon Fiber?
Raw Carbon (often called T700) means the face has a gritty texture that isn't painted on. This grit grabs the ball to create massive spin. All our Titan and Monger paddles use this technology.
How does the Demo Program work?
Simple. You pick 3 paddles to test drive for 7 days. We ship them to you. You play with them. Keep the one you love, send the others back. Alpha Members get special pricing on demos.
Do I need an elongated paddle?
Most of our paddles (like the Monger and Titan) are elongated. This gives you extra reach for overheads and slightly more power (leverage), though the sweet spot is slightly narrower than a standard square paddle.
