Paddletek Tempest Veyra 16mm Elongated Foam Pickleball Paddle - Powered by PIKKL

For players who like to work the entire court and build their offense through placement, the Paddletek Tempest Veyra Elongated offers the reach and connected response to keep rallies on our terms. Its 16.5in x 7.5in profile extends our coverage on stretched volleys, passing shots, and overheads, while the 5.75in handle gives us the room we appreciate for two-handed backhands. With a swing weight of 113, this paddle carries additional momentum through drives and controlled attacking swings without abandoning the touch-oriented character of the Tempest family. The elongated face also provides useful leverage when we want to turn a short return into a deeper, more penetrating shot. It is an appealing fit for players who prefer to construct points with accurate placement, use their reach to take time away from opponents, and accelerate only when the right opportunity presents itself.

The Tempest Veyra's Powered by PIKKL designation reflects the integration of PIKKL's paddle engineering expertise into Paddletek's performance lineup. At the heart of the construction is a cold-pressed TEMPEST Foam Core made from one continuous sheet of expanded polypropylene (EPP). Its optimally tuned density creates a plush, connected response that helps us control ball flight and shape shots without sacrificing offensive capability. Two patent-pending shock-absorbing damping rods incorporate flexible weighted steel wire to position additional mass along the paddle's perimeter, improving stability when contact moves away from center. A vibration-damping elastomer coating helps reduce shock, creating a smoother sensation when redirecting pace or reaching for difficult volleys. The PTK Micro Textured T700 Raw Carbon Fiber face provides the bite needed to manipulate topspin drives, roll volleys, and attacking angles. Together, these technologies produce a 16mm paddle that emphasizes precision and connection while leaving responsive energy available for offense. Players who prefer a broader sweet spot and quicker handling in doubles may gravitate toward the Tempest Veyra Widebody instead.
