Description

Key Features

100% Foam Construct: Unlike standard paddles, this paddle contains no honeycomb. The solid foam core provides a more uniform hitting surface and eliminates the “dead spots” often found in traditional cores.
4th Gen Performance Tech: PMA Approved and built for the modern game, this technology provides a sophisticated vibration-dampening effect while magnifying your natural power.
High-Spin Fabric Peel-Ply Face: The specialized fabric surface allows for extreme ball-shaping and grit, ensuring your serves and drives have the RPMs needed to dive into the court.
Military-Grade Durability: While many “soft” paddles degrade quickly, the Foam Construct is built like a piece of artillery, retaining its pop and structural integrity through months of heavy tournament play.
Standard 16mm Profile: Despite the solid foam interior, the 16mm thickness keeps the paddle agile and quick at the kitchen, perfect for high-speed “hand battles.”
