The USAPA approved SF3 Beginner/Junior Pickleball Paddle features a special textured matte finish over a carbon fiber face to create a hitting surface that improves control and delivers spin to each stroke. The powerful polypropylene honeycomb core adds a large sweet spot for consistent stroke play and reduces vibration on contact. This allows you to have more control over your volley, lob, and smash shots across the court. The black finish with black perforated leather grip, makes the SF3 stylish and suitable for junior/beginner players alike.
