Synergy Pickleball EXPLORE Paddle

The EXPLORE is designed as an all-court paddle. Its hybrid shape and 16mm core thickness provide a balanced mix of power for put-aways and control for dinking, making it a strong choice for players who want versatility rather than a paddle specialized for just one style.

A 16mm core is generally considered the sweet spot for control and stability. It absorbs more impact, which helps reduce vibration and gives you a softer, more predictable feel when you are resetting the ball or working on touch shots at the kitchen line.

Yes. The paddle features a Raw Carbon Friction Surface, which is a textured finish designed to grip the ball upon contact. This allows you to impart more spin on your serves and drives compared to paddles with a smooth or painted face.

At 7.7 oz, this paddle falls into the mid-weight category. It is light enough to remain maneuverable during quick hand battles at the net, but heavy enough to provide enough mass to drive the ball through the court without requiring excessive effort.

The foam injection expands the sweet spot toward the edges of the paddle. This means you will experience more consistent power and feel even if you don't hit the ball perfectly in the center, which is particularly helpful for defensive shots.

With a 5.5-inch grip length, this paddle offers enough room for most players to comfortably fit both hands on the handle. It provides a good balance between reach and the ability to execute a two-handed backhand drive.
