Engage Alpha Pro

The DRIVEPRO core is designed to balance power and spin. By integrating an EVA foam insert, it increases dwell time—the split second the ball stays on the paddle—which gives you more control over your shots without sacrificing the explosive pop needed for aggressive play.

It is designed for players who want both. Because of the 16mm core thickness and the raw carbon fiber surface, it offers enough stability for precise control, while the foam-injected core provides the extra power needed to finish points.

Raw carbon fiber provides a naturally textured surface that grips the ball better than smooth or painted finishes. This texture helps you generate more spin on your serves and drives, giving you more consistency and accuracy.

The 5.5-inch handle is slightly longer than average, which is ideal if you prefer a two-handed backhand or like having extra room to adjust your grip during play. It provides more leverage, which can help generate additional swing speed.

At 8.2 ounces, this paddle sits in the mid-weight range. It is heavy enough to provide stability and power on your shots, but balanced well enough that it shouldn't feel overly cumbersome during extended play.
