Carbon Fiber Pickleball Paddles

We build carbon fiber pickleball paddles in three face families: smooth T300 carbon on PP honeycomb, textured T700 carbon on honeycomb, foam and bridge cores, and 3D 18K carbon on foam cores. 32 designs (51 configurations) are listed below.

T300 vs T700 carbon fiber: what the grade means

T300 and T700 are carbon fiber grades. Toray’s published datasheets list T300 at 3,530 MPa tensile strength and T700S at 4,900 MPa, with the same 230 GPa tensile modulus. In other words, T700 fiber is stronger, but not stiffer, than T300 fiber.

The stiffness and feel of a finished paddle depend more on the layup, resin, surface texture, core and thickness than on the grade label. Grade names are also widely used for equivalent fibers from other producers, so ask us which fiber is used if your brand needs to state it. More detail: T700 carbon face architecture.

Smooth T300 carbon builds

Our T300 paddles use a smooth face over PP honeycomb. The 14 mm cold-cut builds (Arcus S1, Vokar, Rift, Vortex, Surge JT-1, Mellow, SkullPop and DeepFlow) share a wide 398 × 198 mm outline, listed at 220 ± 5 g where measured. Spectra is a 16 mm hot-press T300 build on a 417 × 184 mm outline with twelve artwork designs. The WonderDream and Animal Heroes junior paddles use a 343 × 180 mm outline at 160 ± 5 g.

Textured T700 carbon builds

Our T700 paddles use a textured face and are listed at 230 ± 5 g where measured. Semi-hot-press honeycomb builds include Phantom Eye (with EVA 4S), Halo X5, Aerrow and X-Forge E3 (bridged honeycomb) and Aero. Foam builds include WindBreaker and MoonSlayer (cellular EPP), Dragon Trace and Silverwing (GearOne), Dragon Shade and Bloom (GearBridge), Aquora (ShieldFoam) and Jade (MPP shield). Solunaris Sol and Luna and Surge Hexcore 5S are hot-press builds.

3D 18K carbon

18K describes a carbon tow of 18,000 filaments, woven into a coarser, more visible texture than standard 3K weaves. We use it on Necrostar (cellular EPP foam) and Matrix GearFoam Max (GearBridge foam), both 14 mm.

Specifying a carbon paddle for your brand

Record the face grade and texture, core, thickness, outline, edge guard and grip together. The approved sample is the reference for bulk production, and any change after approval is recorded as a revision. Start with private label or OEM development.

Frequently asked questions

Is a T700 carbon paddle better than T300?

Not automatically. T700 fiber has higher tensile strength but the same modulus as T300, so the difference players feel comes mostly from the layup, texture, core and thickness. Compare finished samples.

What does a textured carbon face do?

A textured or raw carbon surface gives the face more grip on the ball, which players associate with spin. USA Pickleball limits face roughness, and approved models are measured during testing.

Can you make a carbon paddle in my own shape?

Yes, as OEM development. A new outline needs a new mold, which we quote separately, and it is checked against USA Pickleball size limits before tooling.
