14mm Elongated - Precision Power, The OG

"This is our original power paddle. We call it the Samurai Sword. Man, I was so pumped and so proud of G.O.A.T. Paddle when this one dropped. Many BAHH Bombs have been hit with this weapon.

Best part of this paddle - you can really feel where you are contacting the ball and it allows you to play with the ball more and shape your shots. The FL Bros wrote the book on fast hands in pickleball and this paddle was a major tool in developing a lot of the trends and videos you see on social media today.

Cool story - back when this paddle dropped we went to Miami and beat up on a bunch of 6.0+ players and put this paddle on the map in South Florida. Originally it was all poly and has been redesigned to have foam injection in the corners to give it even more of a precision power play paddle. Real GOAT Bosses use this paddle and the wins just feel better with an OG Performance in your hands."

Honeycomb Polypropylene + Foam Corner Injection

Originally all-poly, the Performance has been redesigned with foam-injected corners. This hybrid construction delivers:

Ball feel feedback - 14mm core lets you feel exactly where you're making contact and shape shots with intention.

Foam corner precision - injected foam eliminates dead spots at the edges and expands the effective sweet spot.

Fast hands DNA - the paddle that helped develop the fast hands movement in South Florida pickleball.
