Kiwi Labs Cannon Pickleball Paddle

The 13mm core is thinner, offering a faster, more responsive feel that favors power and hand speed at the net. The 16mm core is thicker, providing more dwell time on the ball, which results in better control, touch, and vibration dampening.

Unibody construction means the handle and paddle face are molded as a single piece rather than glued together. This design significantly increases durability and creates a more consistent energy transfer, reducing the likelihood of the handle snapping or loosening over time.

Yes. The raw Toray T700 carbon fiber surface has a naturally gritty texture that grips the ball upon impact. This friction allows you to generate more topspin and slice compared to smoother, painted-on grit surfaces.

The 16mm version of the Cannon Unibody is USAPA approved for tournament play. If you are planning to compete in sanctioned events, ensure you select the 16mm model.

This paddle is designed for intermediate to advanced players who want a balance of power and precision. Its foam-injected edges make it forgiving enough for those still refining their accuracy, while the raw carbon face provides the spin potential competitive players demand.

Foam injection adds weight to the perimeter of the paddle, which stabilizes the head on off-center hits. This effectively expands the sweet spot, meaning you will experience less twisting and more consistent power even when you don't hit the ball perfectly in the center.
