Head Gravity Team EX Pickleball Paddle

This paddle is specifically tuned for intermediate players. While a beginner could use it, the elongated shape and 17mm core are designed to reward players who already have consistent swing mechanics and are looking to add more power and spin to their game.

The extended head and handle provide extra leverage, which helps generate more power on your serves and drives. The longer handle is particularly beneficial if you prefer using a two-handed backhand.

Like any textured surface on a pickleball paddle, the spin-enhancing lacquer will eventually smooth out with heavy, consistent play. However, the 12k carbon fiber surface underneath remains durable and provides a responsive feel throughout the paddle's lifespan.

At 8.5 ounces, this is on the heavier side for a pickleball paddle. This added weight is intentional, as it helps drive the ball through the court with more force, though it may feel slightly less maneuverable at the net compared to lighter, control-oriented paddles.

The Comfort Grip System features a soft end cap designed to dampen vibrations when you make contact with the ball. This reduces the shock transferred to your hand and arm, which can help prevent fatigue during long matches.
