Many of you asked for a paddle similar to our first version of the Carbon Blade. But one that was slightly thicker, and more grippy paddle for those tight shots and soft game. We delivered!
MAX SPIN, PRECISION SHOTS, EXTREME CONTROL
The Carbon Blade 16 is one of the best paddles we've used. As a player, you want the best of both worlds: drive the ball past your opponent when the ball is popped up, and place the ball to their backhand or just over the net to force them to pop it up. The Carbon Blade 16 is a well-balanced EXTREMELY grippy paddle that has these features.
The Carbon Blade 16's 3K carbon face is 4.5 times the industry standard for carbon faces. The sheen is obvious when you hold it in the sunlight (watch the video). The carefully constructed carbon weave allows you the maximum grip on the pickleball while retaining its hold much longer than conventional paddles. It's lightweight, so even if you don't have a lot of upper body strength, you will sling this paddle well!
We don't recommend adding weight to this paddle. But if you want to, use Crown Lead Tabs and Crown Grips.
