USA Pickleball Approved. This fiberglass pickleball paddle is built for beginner-level play, part of the Circe series by Helios. The reinforced fiberglass surface and 13mm reactive polypropylene honeycomb core deliver consistent power and control, while the textured face adds spin. A thermoplastic polyurethane edge guard shields the perimeter from wear. At about 8 oz, the paddle features a polyurethane-wrapped handle for a comfortable, fatigue-reducing grip.
