Middleweight/Large Grip

Electrum Model E 16mm Graphite Paddle

The Electrum Model E Pickleball Paddle has a long 16 1/2" length so players get the characteristic Electrum spin and precision in a shape that results in excellent reach and follow through. It allows for easier lob returns, groundstrokes and potent serves. The face is made from high quality Toray carbon fiber which has a texture to grip pickleballs for controlled placement. The core of the Model E, at 16mm (0.63"), is thicker than that of the Electrum Pro Paddle, which means all-out power is tempered a bit for the sake of increased control. What power the Model E does deliver is by way of the additional leverage a player experiences when striking balls toward the top of an elongated paddle. And, as with the Pro, the E uses only full cells of polypropylene in the core to create a consistently responsive feel and fantastic durability.

The Model E Graphite Paddle maintains a fairly long handle measuring 5 1/4", making it possible to perform double-handed backhands. The grip has a large circumference (4-1/2") which provides cushioning for the handle and is wrapped with a leather grip which not only feels luxurious but resists wear and moisture better than rubber grips. The weight range is 7.9 - 8.4 oz. which is on the medium-heavy weight side, and translates to a moderate degree of added put-away power and ground stroke confidence.

The graphite Electrum Model E Pickleball Paddle creates optimal feedback and allows for versatile play by experienced players.

    The sand paper like face wore off way too soon and the plastic frame came apart from the paddle itself. I tried to glue it back several times, with no luck. The glue did not adhear to this surface or the plastic. It sounded like a broken paddle when I hit the ball since the frame was not glued to the paddle. Too bad. ***PBC Response*** Clint, thank you for taking the time to review your paddle.

    Ordered an Electrum E paddle. I waited 2 weeks and still no delivery. Contacted Pickleball Central to let them know I didn’t receive my order yet. They sent me out a replacement and I received it in 3 days. Sh** happens, not PC fault that UPS messed up along the way.

    It’s my first ‘real’ pickleball paddle although I’ve played with many others. First thoughts, muted, low power, control and touch.. served great with it, touch shots were easier than any other paddle I’ve used, I have some adjustment with the longer body and my swing speed being slower but it’s still very early to fully qualify it, I like it out of the box but it’s definitely different from the other paddles I’ve used. Spin is another plus, I hit top spin drives with everything, this is enhanced a lot with the Model E, also I notice lobs were ridiculous with top and control.

    This pioneering design is still one of the best paddles. I like the elongated aspect and the raw carbon face for super-high rpm on serves. The thicker face provides more control, easier resets and more consistent soft shots (although less pop) than the Electrum Pro, which I also have. For Bangers, I pick the Pro, and thankfully 99% of my play benefits from the Model E. I also really like the simple graphics. This paddle means business and I feel it has really helped me improve my game.
