 ***The Slingshot is a pre-order only paddle at this time. We are trying our best to fulfill all Slingshot orders before Christmas time.***

The Slingshot (14mm) is unlike any other paddle on the market. It boasts a unique combination of the most advanced paddle technologies along with new and improved technologies.

Slingshot Technologies:

  • Zero-Edge Technology - Seamless face to edge transition maximizes sweetspot.
  • PHD-Core (High-Density Core)- Creates slingshot effect for explosive power.
  • Unibody Handle - Single-piece handle construction amplifies paddle integrity.
  • TORAY T700 - World-class premium raw carbon fiber.
  • Linear Carbon Weave - Grips the ball generating maximum spin and precision.
  • Thermoformed Construction - Foam-injected edges enhances sweetspot.

Case Study

Undisputed science:

 

The core of a pickleball paddle is made up of a honeycomb structure, and the number of cells within that structure directly affects the paddle’s performance. A paddle core with more cells has smaller individual cells, creating a denser and more rigid surface.

From a physics perspective, this density reduces the energy lost during impact by better distributing and reflecting the force applied when hitting the ball. This results in increased power, as more of the energy from your swing transfers back into the ball. Additionally, the smaller cells dampen vibrations more effectively, providing a smoother feel while still maximizing the energy transfer.

In summary, a higher cell count enhances energy efficiency and power output, giving you stronger, more consistent shots with improved control.


Now that we understand the physics, we will compare 2 top-selling competitor paddles and look at 3 main criteria... 


1. # of cells

2. Price

3. Warranty
