Palms-O-Aces Patriot Pickleball Paddle

This paddle is designed for players who want a balance of power and precision. Its carbon fiber surface and honeycomb core provide enough responsiveness for aggressive shots while maintaining the control needed for dinks and resets.

Yes, the Toray700 carbon fiber surface is textured to create more friction upon contact with the ball. This helps you generate more topspin and slice compared to a smooth-faced paddle.

At 7.8 ounces, it falls into the mid-weight category. It is light enough to allow for quick hand speed at the net, but heavy enough to provide stability and power on groundstrokes.

The handle has a 4.33-inch circumference and a 4.9-inch length, which is a standard size that accommodates most hand shapes comfortably. If you prefer a thicker grip, you can easily add an overgrip.

The paddle features a reinforced edge guard designed to protect the frame from ground scrapes and accidental contact. It is built to withstand regular play, though it is still recommended to avoid dragging the paddle on the court surface.

Yes, it includes a fitted neoprene cover. This is essential for protecting the carbon fiber surface and edge guard when the paddle is in your bag between matches.
