Engage Pursuit Ultra EX Textured Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle

Part of Engage Pickleball's new Pursuit Ultra line of paddles, and offered in Lite (7.5 - 7.8 ounces) and a Standard (7.9 - 8.3 ounces) weight options, the Engage Pursuit Ultra EX paddle combines power and maneuverability with just enough control to help you dictate play from baseline to kitchen. The 5" handle with counterbalance technology causes this paddle to feel lighter when you need it to, and allows you to reload the 11" x 8" hitting surface quickly to prepare for your opponent's attacks. The aforementioned hitting surface is comprised of a coarse R210 carbon fiber material that rebounds more like fiberglass for power, and puts incredible spin on your cut shots.

The Engage Pursuit Ultra EX Carbon Fiber Paddle backs up its precision hitting surface with a 1/2" (13mm) thick Control Pro Black Polymer honeycomb core. This half-inch core is thin enough to rebound and add power to your drives, and with the help of Vortex Barrier technology is also able to offer an edge to edge sweet spot and vibration dampening despite the thinner profile. The Vortex edge is a next-generation composite material injected into the outer honeycomb cells to help control weight distribution, balance point, impact vibrations and noise. And that half-inch core means this is the slimmer, more powerful sibling to Engage's Pursuit Ultra EX 6.0 Paddle. To give you complete control of all this paddle offers, the handle is a medium circumference of 4.25" and arrives wrapped in a tacky, perforated and cushioned grip that keeps you connected and fatigue-free throughout long games.

With a powerful thinner core and maneuverable shape, the Pursuit Ultra EX Carbon Fiber Paddle from Engage Pickleball is a good option for players who need power, but specialize in a balanced, all-court game.
