The Babolat STRKR+ pickleball paddle focuses on core power, size of sweet spot and extra reach. Maximizing the quality and size of the STRKR+'s center of percussion is achieved from a combination of its unique shape (helps expand and broaden the sweet spot) along with its thinner 13mm Polypropylene Core (adds another facet of power). Layered between the polymer core and the friction based surface is Babolat's SWC Pure Feel technology, which boasts excellent vibration control without sacrificing a connected feeling to the ball. Pure Feel combined with the lively core, 3K Woven Carbon Fiber and RPM Grit surface materials, produces a crisp feel and some of the best spin potential available. Besides core power and the power sourced from a 16.7 inch paddle length, Duratech Mono-Molded construction not only adds and refines that power but also strengthens the paddle. An elongated shape and extended 5.5 inch handle makes this paddle ideal for two handed backhands and singles play.
