Engage Pursuit Pro1 Widebody 15.2mm Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

If your game is built around grit, patience, and relentless defense, the Engage Pursuit Pro1 Widebody 15.2mm Pickleball Paddle will feel right at home in your hands. This is the most defense-oriented model in Engage's Pursuit Pro line, combining a generously wide 8 1/8" face with an ultra-controllable 15.2mm core to help us reset, block, and dig with confidence—all while waiting for the perfect counterattack. The Raw Toray T700 Carbon Fiber surface is as spin-friendly as it is soft, allowing us to keep shots low and heavy with slice or topspin, especially near the kitchen.

We also appreciate how this paddle quiets vibration and forgives our off-center strikes. The MachPro Polymer Core is reinforced with Vortex Barrier Edge Technology, a foam perimeter that increases dwell time and sweet spot coverage without adding excess weight. The 8.0 oz average weight balances maneuverability and plow-through, while the 5.25" handle gives room for controlled finesse or even the occasional two-hander. Finished with a tacky Engage cushion grip and protected by Uniform Guard edge tech, the Pro1 Widebody helps us stay steady under pressure and win the points that matter most.
