Control Pickleball Paddles

Ideal for players who emphasise precision, placement, power and an all-round approach, using a strategic mixture of power and control when required.

The key features of CONTROL pickleball paddles:

• The overall length is generally less than 15.5 in (394 mm) and the handle length less than 4.5 in (114 mm).
• Thickness: A thicker core, absorbs more impact, providing a softer feel and improved control.
• Overall weight: This is lighter, less than 207g, making it easy to manoeuvre and help with quick reflexes for net rallies.

Contradictions

• Contradiction: A few “control” paddles come with thinner cores, which should give speed. Use of softer materials dampens the feel.
• Contradiction: Some “control” paddles are elongated shapes, which reduce forgiveness, but provide the extra reach that touch players crave.
