Our LETHAL™️ paddles were specifically designed for consistency and control. 👇
The face of the paddle is slightly more elongated, truly expanding the sweet spot and reducing dead zones. The handle length is 5”-5.2” which still allows for a 2-hand backhand. Pro paddles have become modified to 5.5” handles which caters to tennis players and singles players. While a half inch doesn’t sound like a lot, it makes a big difference to these specialty players. In contrast, that extra half inch in the paddle face makes just as big of a difference in consistency for average players. A lot of lower level players mishit balls at the throat of the paddle just above the handle.
14mm or 16mm?
- 14mm - Slightly thinner and lighter. Most women who demo & use our paddles prefer this one for its lighter weight. Recommended for beginners singles players. We had a kid who used our 14mm for competitive singles beginning at 3.0 PPA all the way to 5.0. At that point he had to switch to a power foam paddle. This paddle would also be preferred by players who want to be more aggressive in drives but maintain the consistency in drops/dinks.
- 16mm - Slightly thicker and heavier. This is for the players who want to master drops, resets, dinks. Which should be every 2.0 - 4.3 player.
What Gen paddle is right for you?
- Gen 1 - If it’s your first time playing and you want the cheapest paddles on Amazon
-
Gen 2 - As soon as you graduate from your Amazon paddle all the way up to approx 4.3 DUPR. This is still 👑 king 👑 for beginner-intermediate players. Most reliable. Most durable. Most control. Most feel. Best honeycomb design.
- Gen 3 - No one. This was a disaster in innovation. They are Gen2 paddles modified w/ foam in the core & rushed to market as a cash grab. They break quickly. Companies are now trying to remodify them & claim Gen 3.5
- Gen 4 - Players 4.5+ & singles players. These fully foam paddles are more detrimental than helpful for players under 4.5+. The trampoline effect of full foam will have you hitting balls against the back fence and popping up shots in your soft game. No one likes a banger in low level play. Every point is over in one shot (net, out, opponents errors on a drive that would have been out). You don’t need a hot paddle in low levels. You need consistent drops, resets, dinks. Get a hot paddle once you perfect your skills.
★★ Our paddles have helped many lower level players become medalists in PPA events (from 3.0-4.5) all over the United States and one international PPA event. We are still currently featured in a highlight on PPAs official Instagram page. ★★
