About Dragon Trace

Dragon Trace belongs to our dragon trio with Dragon Shade and Silverwing. It uses GearOne, the one-piece version of our GearFoam EPP core, under a textured T700 face. Dragon Trace and Silverwing share this core; Dragon Shade uses the bridged version.

How Dragon Trace is built

Dragon Trace is 16 mm thick, with a T700 carbon fiber face with a textured (grit) finish over GearOne, the one-piece version of our GearFoam EPP core. Listed weight is 230 ± 5 g. It is built on our semi-hot-press line, the same route as our other performance carbon and foam models.

It uses an elongated, narrow outline of 417 × 184 mm (16.42 × 7.24 in) with a 140 mm (5.51 in) handle and a 110 mm grip circumference. A handle of 140 mm leaves room for a two-handed backhand.

Read how cores compare in our paddle core guide, and see the mold and outline options on the specification checklist.

What ships with it

It ships in a book-style box with 12 lead tape strips for weight and balance tuning and two overgrips.

Making it your own

We print your artwork on the T700 carbon face and can change the edge guard, grip and packaging. The core, the 16 mm thickness and the FC001 mold stay as listed unless you approve a structural revision on a new sample. For a full brand programme, see private label paddles and custom paddle development.

Frequently asked questions

Is Dragon Trace within USA Pickleball size limits?

Yes, on the listed dimensions. USA Pickleball allows a maximum length of 17 in and a combined length and width of 24 in. The listed outline is 16.42 in long and 23.66 in combined, 0.34 in under the limit. Size is only one rule; approval for sanctioned play is a separate listing, explained on our paddle certification page.

What is the difference between GearOne and GearBridge?

Both are versions of our GearFoam EPP core. GearOne is a one-piece core; GearBridge adds a bridge structure. Dragon Trace uses GearOne; Dragon Shade uses GearBridge. Compare both on samples if feel is the deciding factor.

How is Dragon Trace different from Silverwing?

Same core, face, thickness and FC001 outline. They differ only in artwork.

What does the listed price include?

It is the price per paddle in USD, EXW our factory in Dongguan, for orders of at least 50 paddles per design, with the listed accessories and standard box. Freight, FOB delivery and any changes to the build or packaging are quoted separately. Prices marked as estimates are based on a related build and are confirmed in your quotation.
