Elongated full foam paddle with Tri-Response Foam Core, Aero Fusion Surface, and 16mm stability for softer control, longer dwell, spin, and predictable power.

Middleweight/Medium Grip

Warping Point Sophon Pickleball Paddle

For players who want elongated reach without giving up touch, the Warping Point Sophon Pickleball Paddle uses a 16.5in x 7.4in shape to create leverage on drives, extra coverage at the kitchen, and a more connected feel through resets and counters. The 5.6in handle gives us room for two-handed backhands, while the 16mm profile keeps contact stable and composed when we are absorbing pace or working through transition.

The Sophon is built around a Tri-Response Foam Core that combines full EPP foam, a responsive TPE ring, and reinforced perimeter foam for a softer, more forgiving response across the face. Its Aero Fusion Surface uses a triple-layer T700 carbon fiber foundation with an aerospace-grade coating to help maintain spin, grip, and consistency over time. This is a great fit for players who want controlled power, confident shaping, and a paddle that feels predictable when the point speeds up.

+ Key Features
  • Tri-Response Foam Core - Full EPP foam, a responsive TPE ring, and reinforced perimeter foam work together to soften impact, improve forgiveness, and keep the paddle stable on off-center contact.
  • Aero Fusion Surface - Triple-layer T700 carbon fiber with an aerospace-grade coating helps the face grip the ball for spin, shape, and controlled placement.
  • 16mm Full Foam Build - The thicker foam platform gives the Sophon longer dwell time and a more settled feel on resets, drops, and blocks.
  • Reinforced Perimeter Foam - Added stability around the edges expands the usable sweet spot, helping mishits stay more predictable during fast exchanges.
  • 5.6in Octagonal Handle - The extended handle supports two-handed backhands, added leverage, and quick grip adjustments without feeling awkward in hand.
+ 16mm | Softer Dwell and Stable Control
The 16mm Sophon is built for players who want the ball to stay on the face a little longer. It feels calm on resets, drops, and defensive blocks, especially when you are taking pace off the ball in transition. The full foam core gives it a softer, more connected response, while the reinforced perimeter helps keep the face from twisting when contact moves toward the edges. It is not the snappiest, hardest-launching option, but it gives us a predictable blend of comfort, spin, and controllable put-away power.
 
Expert Review
"The elongated shape gives Sophon reach, but the 16mm full foam build is what stands out. It feels soft, stable, and easy to trust on resets, with enough rebound to finish when the ball sits up."
