Middleweight/Medium Grip

Warping Point Phoenix Pickleball Paddle

For aggressive players who still want to trust their touch, the Warping Point Phoenix Pickleball Paddle pairs an elongated 16.5in shape with a power-focused balance that helps us drive through the ball, pressure returns, and finish points without feeling wild. The 7.4in width and 5.6in handle give it enough reach for one- or two-handed backhands while still feeling quick enough in hand battles.

Phoenix gets its identity from the Power Drive System™, which combines an 8mm polymer honeycomb core, TPE foam wall construction, and a Triple-Layer Raw T700 carbon fiber face for fast energy transfer, spin-friendly bite, and more confidence when the pace speeds up. On court, the 13.3mm feels built for players who want to attack with purpose and put the ball away, while the 16mm helps us shape heavier topspin, and stay steady through counters, blocks, and pressure balls. 

+ Key Features
  • Power Drive System™ - Combines the 8mm polymer honeycomb core with a TPE foam wall to create faster energy transfer and a more stable feel when we are driving through the ball or countering pace.
  • Triple-Layer Raw T700 Carbon Fiber Face - Gives us spin-friendly grab and a more connected feel on contact, helping shape topspin drives, dipping passes, and sharper roll volleys.
  • Endura Spin Surface - The fine-textured raw carbon face helps extend ball contact and generate 2100+ RPM for heavier spin and more confidence when we want to attack with shape instead of just swinging harder.
  • Elongated 16.5in Shape - Adds reach on volleys, overheads, and two-handed backhands while keeping the sweet spot long enough to reward aggressive mechanics from the baseline and midcourt.
  • 5.6in Octagonal Handle with EVA Cushioning - Offers a secure ergonomic grip for one- or two-handed play while helping reduce vibration and arm fatigue during long matches and fast exchanges.
+ 13.3mm | Quick Rebound and Put-Away Pop
The 13.3mm version is the quicker, more reactive option in the lineup. It rebounds faster off the face, which makes counters, speed-ups, and drive exchanges feel more immediate. If we want a paddle that gets through the ball quickly and gives us extra punch on aggressive shots, this is usually the better fit. The tradeoff is a firmer feel with less dwell time on softer resets and touch shots.
+ 16mm | Dwell Time and Controlled Stability
The 16mm version gives this paddle platform a more settled and controlled response. We get longer dwell time, a softer feel on contact, and more forgiveness when blocking or resetting pace. It is usually the better choice for players who want the paddle to feel calmer in transition and more predictable in the soft game. Compared to the 13.3mm, it trades some rebound speed for improved touch and stability.
 
Expert Review
"To us, the 13.3mm feels quicker and more explosive on counters, while the 16mm settles down better on resets and blocks. Same Phoenix platform, just a different response profile depending on how aggressive or composed you want it to feel."

Frequently Asked Questions

+ What is the difference between the 13.3mm and 16mm Phoenix?
A: The 13.3mm plays quicker off the face with more immediate rebound on counters, drives, and hand battles. The 16mm adds dwell time, a softer feel, and more stability on resets, drops, and blocks.
+ Which Phoenix thickness should power players choose?
A: Players who want the fastest response and more put-away pop will usually prefer the 13.3mm. It suits aggressive players who like to attack early and speed the ball up.
+ Which Phoenix thickness is better for control?
A: The 16mm is the better fit for players who want more dwell, a calmer response, and more forgiveness when blocking or resetting pace.
+ Does the 16mm still have enough power?
A: Yes. The 16mm still brings solid pace because the shape, face, and Power Drive System™ stay the same. It just delivers that power with a slightly more controlled and stable response.
+ Do both Phoenix thicknesses use the same shape and technology?
A: Yes. Both versions use the same elongated shape, Triple-Layer Raw T700 carbon face, Power Drive System™, octagonal handle, and overall paddle platform. The main difference is how the core thickness changes feel and response.
+ Is one thickness better than the other?
A: Not really. The better choice depends on what we want to feel at contact. Choose 13.3mm for quicker rebound and more aggressive pop. Choose 16mm for more dwell, softer control, and added forgiveness.
