Babolat WZRD

The Babolat WZRD pickleball paddle, as Babolat puts it, was created for the player who relies more on defense and control rather than raw power from the paddle itself.

At the heart of the WZRD's well executed design is a 20mm Polypropylene Core, which increases dwell time by cradling the impact of the ball, giving players a chance to use more of their own power along with adding disguise to their offensive and defensive strategies.

Under the hood of the WZRD's spin friendly 3K Woven Carbon Fiber surface and stacked on top of the polymer core, Babolat inserts their SMC Pure Feel material, which isolates ball feedback from unwanted vibrations.

And bonded to the 3K Woven Carbon face is another long lasting, spin enhancing technology called RPM Grit. At an average weight of 8.5 oz, and combined with Babolat's approach to their Duratech Uni-Body construction, the WZRD inherently delivers lots of plow through power, a huge sweet spot and is incredibly stable even if ball contact is off center.

Improving agility and making the WZRD's substantial degree of weight based power easier to manage is a compact 15.8 in overall length, which green-lights full cuts at the ball from any position in the court without sacrificing finesse, touch or directional control.

To complete this precision oriented masterpiece of a paddle, the Babolat WZRD comes standard with a 5 inch handle length and a 4 inch grip circumference.
