VERSIX Vector XL Raw Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddle
Elongated, thermoformed, and boasting a long handle, we like how the VERSIX®️ Vector XL Pickleball Paddle eases the transition to pickleball for tennis players while helping longtime players achieve reach and power with every shot. The elongated 16.5” shape features thermoformed construction that bonds the 5.75” long forged octagonal handle and main 10.75” by 7.5” main body together for a solid feel on contact and reinforced throat. The extended hitting surface of this paddle is constructed from T700 Toray Raw Carbon fiber which relies on a rigid weave and natural texture to cause the ball to dwell on the surface and then spin off of it, opening up a world of technical shots and dinks. Small details like the squared face shape and sharp hip angles optimize leverage and space for two-handed backhands without sacrificing the feel of the sweet spot.
Lightweight vs. Standard Weight
The Vector was designed and optimized for players transitioning from tennis or those interested in more leverage and power potential without sacrificing the size of the sweet spot, and weight distribution is the largest contributing factor.
Most players should consider the standard weight model first as it will offer more forgiveness and higher performance out of the box.
Those sensitive to higher weights will appreciate the extreme maneuverability of the lightweight model, but note that weight modifications may be needed to get the right balance and performance out of the paddle for their needs.
