Carbon Friction Surface (CFS) technology

A proprietary face treatment technology that applies the spin-control technology JOOLA cultivated in table tennis to pickleball. Unlike conventional spray coating or sandblasting, it forms a micro-level friction structure on the carbon-fiber surface, maximizing the contact area with the ball. Spin performance is greatly improved compared with conventional paddles.

Play Feel

The 16 mm thickness excels in control performance, with standout stability on dinks and reset shots. The elongated shape gives wide reach, an advantage in hands battles at the net. Meanwhile, its greatest appeal is the good balance of securing ample ball speed on power shots too.
