The Carbon Blade 16 pickleball paddle 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 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.
