Description
Description
The BLACKOUT paddle is engineered for players who want maximum power, explosive pop, and aggressive performance, combining a responsive fiberglass surface with a high-performance hybrid design. Built to dominate from the baseline and finish points decisively, it delivers a lively feel that translates into fast ball speed and effortless power generation.
Featuring a 100% fiberglass face, the BLACKOUT enhances responsiveness and provides a softer, more elastic impact, resulting in increased energy return and powerful shot execution. The Peel Ply textured surface adds excellent spin capability, allowing players to control placement while maintaining an aggressive playing style. Its large sweet spot, supported by a high twist weight, ensures consistent performance even on off-center hits.
Constructed with a 360° Unibody thermoformed structure and foam-injected walls, the paddle offers improved stability, durability, and feel across the entire face. The extended 5.5-inch handle supports two-handed backhands, while customizable swing weight options allow players to fine-tune their setup. The BLACKOUT is a power-focused, all-around paddle built for players who want performance without compromise.
