We took all the attributes of our very popular 19mm Drive paddle and created a 16mm version with the Encounter. The Encounter with the thinner frame, will add a little more pop, while maintaining amazing touch and control with the same triple layer core as the Drive paddle. This paddle pioneers a new era with an edge-less construction.. An edge guard tape comes with it for protection, if needed We have harnessed a cutting-edge foam injection process to enhance stability and expand the sweet spot across the paddle, ensuring your every shot feels stable and precise. The core is made up of 3 honeycomb layers - the inner and outer layers are Polypropylene (PP) and the center layer is Aramid (Kevlar). When the center layer is compressed with a faster swing, the Aramid kicks in to add the power you are looking for. We've chosen the top-of-the-line T700 Raw Carbon Fiber to craft the surface of the Encounter Paddle. This high-quality material maximizes your spin potential, allowing you to add a new dimension to your game, effortlessly! All of our paddles are equipped with a natural leather grip and the Encounter comes with an insulated cover, for protection from extreme temperatures.
