Holbrook Fuze VantaGrit Elongated Foam Pickleball Paddle

The biggest change to the Fuze lineup is right on the surface. The Fuze VantaGrit Elongated pairs Holbrook's new VantaGrit texture with its patent-pending Dual Density Foam Core, giving us a paddle built for aggressive spin, powerful contact, and lasting performance. VantaGrit is designed to maintain its bite longer than traditional raw carbon, helping us shape topspin drives, roll volleys, and sharp angles without losing that familiar gritty response. Underneath, higher-density foam in the upper portion of the paddle supports explosive power, while lower-density foam in the center helps create a more forgiving, consistent feel. A layered Carbon-Aramid-Carbon (CAC) face rounds out the construction with added touch for drops, resets, and controlled blocks.

With a 16.5in x 7.5in elongated shape, this version gives us the extra reach and leverage to attack from the baseline, stretch for volleys, and finish points overhead. The 5.5in handle also accommodates two-handed backhands, making it a natural fit for aggressive singles players and doubles players who like to dictate points. We have two distinct ways to experience this platform. The 14mm has a quicker response and lower swing weight for fast counters and speed-ups, while the 16mm feels more settled through contact, helping us absorb pace and manage depth on softer shots. Both deliver the same VantaGrit spin technology, so the choice comes down to how quickly you want the ball to leave the face.
