Paddle Tap DNA Pickleball Paddle

This paddle is designed for intermediate to advanced players who want a balance of power and control. The thermoformed construction and carbon face provide enough pop for aggressive drives, while the foam-injected perimeter keeps the paddle stable for touch shots at the net.

The custom-molded octagonal handle mimics the feel of a tennis racquet grip. This shape provides distinct bevels that help you index your hand position, making it easier to switch between grips for forehands, backhands, and dinks.

Yes, the Japanese Toray carbon fiber face is known for its durability and texture, which helps grip the ball upon contact. This allows you to generate more spin on serves and drives compared to standard fiberglass or composite surfaces.

At 8.1 ounces, this paddle falls into the mid-weight category. It offers a stable, solid feel that helps absorb impact from hard shots, though it is still maneuverable enough for quick exchanges at the kitchen line.

The 16mm core is thicker than standard entry-level paddles, which prioritizes control and vibration dampening. This thickness helps soften the feel of the ball, giving you more confidence and precision during dink rallies and resets.

Yes, this paddle is USA Pickleball approved, meaning it meets all the necessary regulations for size, surface, and construction to be used in sanctioned tournaments.
