ProXR Riley Newman Pro Charge Core Pickleball Paddle
The Riley Newman Pro 13mm is what happens when physics meets finesse. Designed through ProXR’s ProtoHype testing program and shaped by Riley Newman’s aggressive, all-court style, this paddle blends control, spin, and power like few others can. We like how the T-700 Ultra Raw Carbon Fiber surface grips the ball just long enough to generate spin, so that the ProXR Series 3 core can use an electrified perimeter system with Control and Charge Rings to drive the ball past our opponent. The result? A paddle that feels plush on dinks, crisp on drives, and stable even on off-center hits
-
Conductive T-700 Ultra Raw Carbon Fiber SurfaceProvides maximum spin potential, durability, and a crisp feel for precise shot-making.
-
Control Ring (Gen 1.5 Foam)Perimeter foam dampens vibration, enhances forgiveness, and expands the sweet spot across the face.
-
Charge Ring (Gen 3 Foam)Boosts power return and dwell time, creating dynamic energy on full swings while maintaining control.
-
Shock Arrestor Edge GuardReduces vibration, protects against impact damage, and improves paddle longevity.
-
Extended Handle and Elongated ShapeOffers extra reach and leverage for two-handed shots and more consistent contact across the paddle face.
Expert Snapshot Review
“This paddle hits that rare balance between plush control and explosive pop. The energy return from the Charge Ring is noticeable, and the carbon face bites into the ball for serious spin. It’s ideal for all-court players who want precision up front and punch from the baseline.”
