Engage Pickleball Encore EX Paddle - Polymer Core - USAPA Approved - Adults - Standard (Blue)

Introducing the new 'Encore EX' paddle by EngagePickleball. The Encore EX is the 1/2 inch version of the highly popular Encore EX 6.0, offering a little more power. The line-up consists of two different shapes: the EX, which measures 16" x 8" with a 5" length grip, and the MX, which measures 16.5" x 7.5" with a 5.75" length grip, designed for players seeking more reach, power, and spin. For those unsure which one to choose, it is recommended to go with the EX.

Paddles with thicker cores are known to provide more control and a softer feel at the point of contact. However, thicker cores often result in a reduction in power and the size of the sweet spot. Engage has addressed this issue with their innovative 'Core & Skin Dimensioning' technique, producing thick core paddles with a large sweet spot and the right amount of power to put the ball away, while maintaining control, balance, and positioning.

For players who find themselves needing more power, particularly when using the Encore 6.0 series or other thick core paddles, the Encore EX (and Encore MX) can provide the necessary boost. With these paddles, players can swing at a normal speed and maintain control, ensuring they can put the ball away or get their serve/return deeper without sacrificing recovery for the next shot.

The Encore EX features a 'ControlPro' Polymer core with Vibration Control Technology, as well as a FiberTEK’ skin for maximum forgiveness and spin. It is designed to pass the most stringent community noise requirements and is available in a range of weights and grip sizes. The paddle is USAPA listed and approved for tournament play, and is available in blue or purple.

In conclusion, the Encore EX offers innovation, creativity, and ingenuity, representing the commitment to excellence and performance that is synonymous with EngagePickleball.
