Friction Fiber Carbon Skin
We have taken Raw Carbon Fiber to the next level with our proprietary carbon fiber weave. This advanced skin technology delivers enhanced surface roughness and up to 4x longer-lasting grit, so you can keep playing your best, game after game.
TrueStrike Polymer Core
Our latest core delivers a unique combination of effortless power, cushioned control, and increased dwell time, resulting in a more consistent response for superior spin and precision.
Reinforced Carbon Frame
A Carbon Frame protects the core and provides more stability, durability, and a consistent response from the paddle.
Impact Edge Foam Barrier
A protective foam barrier encases the core, providing vibration-damping and a softer feel for the user.
Response+ FOAM
A foam channel between the Core and Barrier gives more power and helps cushion the feel for the player.
Fusion Control Layer
An additional layer of skin, providing more control for the user and protecting the integrity of the paddle.
