Paddle Surface:

This Fiberglass surface packs more of a punch or "pop" than a Carbon surface. 

Core:

The Stream-1 paddles have a honeycomb core sandwiched between two layers of fiberglass. The Polypropylene Core is made of a plastic blend with large honeycomb cells which offer both control and power. This composite is widely used on aircraft flight control surfaces such as the rudder, aileron, spoiler and flap. The Core thickness is 16mm which is considered to be a thick core.  Thick cores offer control over power and help absorb the shock of the pickleball whilst minimizing the twisting of the paddle in your hand.  Additionally, it offers more control, touch and consistency.  You get all the power you need as well as a more stable paddle.  This paddle is excellent for play at the net and volleys.

Handle Length:

This superior paddle with an extended grip length of 140mm as opposed to standard paddles with a grip of 130mm, is suitable for players with larger hands, or tennis players who like to use two hands on the backhand shot.

The Grip:

Our standard grip is 110mm circumference, however we suggest using an overgrip or double grip if you require more cushioning.  The additional cushioning is helpful in absorbing some of the impact if you suffer joint pain such as arthritis or tennis elbow. It is also proven to reduce arm muscle fatigue.

Weight:

The Stream-1 paddle is a heavyweight paddle which means you don't have to swing as hard to produce power as there is more weight behind the ball.  This also provides effective dinking as the shorter swings reduce the room for error and you have more time to get into position.  Heavyweight paddles tend to be more stable on impact reducing on-edge wobble impact, thus reducing errors.

Face Width:

The Stream-1 has a slightly elongated face and narrower in width (290mm x 190mm) which enables it to provide more reach, power and maneuverability.  The elongated shape is popular amongst singles pickleball players.

These paddles are USA Pickleball Association approved.
