4 PADDLE INNOVATIONS

5 PADDLE TECHNOLOGIES Wilson paddle technology, engineered with basalt fibers for the perfect feel. Basalt fibers are woven longitudinally with [K]arophite Black filtering unwanted extreme frequency and delivering a clean feedback with better sensation and the perfect feel. PRO FOAM Pro Foam: Introducing the highest density foam in the game today. Solid hit with maximum control. LITE FOAM NO GRIT ZONE TM A scientific breakthrough in foam density. The Lite foam offers the most responsive paddle shots with less weight. Better hits with less arm fatigue. So play hard, play longer. Unparalleled comfort meets unmatched technology. Wilson Killer Grit Technology is a rough texture that s added to the paddle surface for extra bite. With the No Grit Zone, this rough texture is removed from the bottom of the paddle leaving a smooth surface that keeps players from experiencing discomfort in their fingers. Cutting Edge Construction: Full composite outer rim construction featuring Basalt Fibers for added paddle strength and soft feel on every shot. Smart Density: Smart Density utilizes two distinct EVA foam densities in one paddle. Smart Density occurs when the paddle responds to the speed of the ball hit on the paddle face. Your swing and impact can generate more power as Smart Density responds. The Smart Density core allows for more cushioned feel when needed. Core Foam: Smart Density foam used in the paddle core has been taken to the next level using [K]arophite Black. This nanoscopic level material helps control the voids in the foam providing a more stable hit all around. Killer Grit Technology: Wilson tripled the amount of grit on the paddle surface of all of our paddles for increased control and feel of the ball. Extra Bite. Sharp Hole Technology: Advanced hole drilling process provides increased bite on all hits. Patented Bottle Opener Feature: Remember to drink responsibly, have fun, and CHEERS!
