Power Pickleball Paddles

Designed for aggressive players who prioritise forceful shots and swift volleys, power paddles enhance shot potency. 

The key features of POWER pickleball paddles:

• Power paddles are also generally elongated in shape, with the overall length of 16.4 in (417 mm) and the handle length of 5.3 in (135 mm) both being longer.

• Thinner core offers less cushioning, resulting in more 'pop' and energy transfer.

• Overall weight: This is heavier (greater than 227g), helping to generate greater weight of shot, hence more power.

The firmer, harder core leads to less dwell time on the paddle face for excellent smashes and drives.

What are the advantages of a thin core?

A thin core does not absorb the ball as much, decreasing the time the ball is on your paddle (the dwell time) and allowing you to generate more power. 

Contradiction: Some “power” paddles have thicker 16 mm cores, which is offset by a stiffer core material to still deliver extra pop. Some paddles CAN have lighter weights, but stiffness of the material can offset the lighter weight.
