Pickleball Pros USAPA Approved Graphite Composite Pickleball Paddle
Pickleball Pros Graphite Fusion 5.0 Paddle The Pickleball Pros Graphite Fusion 5.0 is a revolutionary paddle offering an incredibly solid feel, a massive sweet spot, and ample power to confidently dominate your opponents. This paddle merges three major technological advancements, providing both the outstanding ball control and shot feel of a graphite-faced paddle while consistently delivering power usually exclusive to thick polymer core, composite face paddles.
The first innovation is the paddle's face material, crafted from a hybrid graphite/polymer weave. Featuring Vertigrab Wave technology, this layered structure enlarges the sweet spot, ensuring even off-centre shots feel as if they've been perfectly struck in the middle of the paddle face, and providing enhanced control and grip on the ball. The Pickleball Pros Graphite Fusion is the pioneer paddle to employ this cutting-edge technology. The woven material aids in energy transfer throughout the paddle surface, ensuring more consistency on shots, regardless of where on the face the ball is struck.
The second innovation is the incorporation of a thicker 14.3mm polymer core, which increases the paddle's rigidity across its entire length and width. While most paddles are 12.7mm thick, the Pickleball Pros Graphite Fusion's thicker 14.3mm core sets a new benchmark in paddles within this price range. This distinctive core creates incredible shot consistency over a larger area of the face, resulting in fewer "mis-hit" shots, while delivering an exceptional transfer of energy from the paddle to the ball. In combination with the hybrid graphite/polymer face, it also results in one of the quietest, lowest vibration paddles we've ever tested.
The final innovation is the application of a molecular bonding process, which ensures exceptional durability and quality by uniting the outer skin, core facing material, and polymer honeycomb interior. The outer skin's surface is textured and formed to mirror the subsurface Vertigrab Wave structure, allowing you to effortlessly and confidently impart spin on the ball.
The goal with this paddle was to satisfy the needs of players seeking both exceptional ball control and solid striking power. By optimising not just the materials, but also the weight and balance of this paddle, the result is a paddle that feels light and well-balanced, providing you with excellent hand speed during rapid kitchen exchanges, yet enough weight to instil confidence in overheads, drives, and shots in windy conditions.
The Pickleball Pros Graphite Fusion 5.0's 206mm width creates one of the industry's most generous sweet spots, and when combined with the slim edge guard, offers players ample room to manoeuvre their shots. The weight range is 229.6 - 240.9 grams and is perfect for those who want extra power without sacrificing hand speed. By designing a paddle with more width, it moves the balance point (aka centre of mass) of the paddle closer to the grip, improving hand speed. This balance avoids the head-heavy feel of many 229+ gram paddles.
Testers have been astounded at the price-performance of this paddle, comparing it favourably to paddles costing well over $200. Pickleball Pros is proud to have produced such a high-performance paddle at this highly affordable price.
The grip circumference is available in two sizes, with the option of either a thin or standard grip. We wanted this paddle to be accessible and comfortable for players of all types, so we are offering this paddle in both a thin 101.6mm and standard 107.95mm grip size. A black background and two diagonal colour stripes adorn the paddle's face, with its name positioned at the centre.
Actual grip sizes may vary up to 3.175mm.
