Details

The Founders Paddle

Our paddle blends heritage‑inspired craftsmanship with cutting‑edge materials for elevated play.

16.4 in length × 7.5 in width with a comfortable 5 in handle; the mid‑weight build (approx. 7.9–8.3 oz) strikes a balance between power and manoeuvrability.
Raw T700 carbon fibre, prized for its large sweet spot and excellent control.
16 mm polymer honeycomb core; thicker cores absorb pace, expand the sweet spot, and provide greater stability.
Foam‑injected perimeter stabilises off‑centre hits and enlarges the sweet spot, delivering consistent feel across the paddle.
¼ in overlapping carbon‑fibre edge guard protects the face while preserving a sleek silhouette.
Cushioned handle with a 4.25 in circumference for all‑day comfort; USA Pickleball‑approved and backed by a one‑year warranty.

Dimensions: 16.4 in (41.7 cm) length, 7.5 in (19 cm) width, 5 in (12.7 cm) handle length.
Weight: Approximately 7.9–8.3 oz for balanced power and manoeuvrability.

Care Instruction

Storage

Keep the paddle in its protective cover in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or a damp environment.

Cleaning

Wipe the paddle face and handle with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Do not use abrasive cleaners or submerge in water.

Inspection

Regularly inspect the edge guard and face for wear. Replace grips when needed. Avoid scraping the paddle on hard surfaces to pick up balls.
