The ORCA Mystic Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle with Neoprene Cover features a lightweight polymer honeycomb paddle core for easy handling. The 13.3 mm paddle core thickness allows more energy absorption when hitting the ball and provides more stability across the paddle face. The paddle face has a coarse coating that allows for advanced control and extra spin on the ball. The extra thin rim guard helps protect the paddle edge from dents and scratches. The handle is finished with a thick rubber band to keep the grip in place and meets USAPA standards.
