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.
