SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore™

Redefining the Core

Features: Features: The SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore™ is redefining paddle core technology, replacing traditional honeycomb structures with a more advanced, high-performance system. Built with a 100% carbon fiber rib core, it maximizes power, control, and stability, delivering superior energy transfer, increased durability, and heightened responsiveness with every shot.

The carbon fiber ribs, combined with the hitting surface plies, increase the "bite" on the ball, giving players better control over spin. This enhanced bite allows for precise manipulation of the ball’s trajectory, whether you're hitting topspin, side spin, or cut shots. Additionally, the carbon ribs boost energy return, ensuring consistent power with every strike while improving shot accuracy and dynamics.

The SST 2.0 CarbonRibCore™ smoothly blends precision and power, preserving the classic honeycomb feel, for unparalleled strength and performance.

Benefits: Players will enjoy a more stable, controlled response with a familiar honeycomb feel that enhances connection, even on off-center hits. This advanced core ensures consistent power, making every swing more impactful. The improved structure amplifies shot quality and overall paddle strength, giving players the confidence to perform at their best.

2X FiberStamina™

Increased Fiber Area Weight (FAW)

Feature: Doubling the carbon fiber density and strategically positioning each carbon rib within the core allows for precise adjustments to the paddle's power, feel, and stability. This design enhances performance by extending dwell time, improving shot shaping, and increasing durability and stability, ensuring powerful shots without the risk of paddle breakdown.

Benefit: Increased dwell time allows the ball to stay on the paddle face longer, offering better control over shot placement and spin. This extended ball-paddle interaction transfers more energy from the paddle to the ball, enabling powerful shots with less effort. Whether you're driving with heavy topspin, executing delicate dinks, or delivering a fast smash, the ability to manipulate the ball's trajectory becomes more effortless and precise.

FinesseFlex™

Redesigned Inner Core Expansion & Pressure

Feature: Shifts extra weight from unwanted thermoplastics to carbon fiber, making the paddle precise, stronger, and more energetic while reducing unwanted vibrations. 

Benefit: This innovative design delivers a more comfortable and controlled playing experience, allowing players to enjoy long rallies with ease. With reduced hand fatigue and a smoother, more precise touch on every shot.

SureStrength™

Strengthened Center Ribs

Feature: Structural support at the paddle’s point of highest impact, ensuring consistent ball response and lasting durability with every shot. 

Benefit: Whether you are smashing drives or dinking softly, the paddle offers consistent ball control. Players get a reliable, predictable response, especially on critical shots like resets or fast drives.

DynamicPly™

Tapered Surface Plies

Feature: The 3K woven carbon surface with a high-texture finish creates a refined spin effect, providing a soft touch with outstanding ball control. The tightly woven carbon fibers increase reactivity, while the textured surface amplifies grip, allowing for superior spin and precise ball response.

Benefit: The face plies and core structure expand the sweet spot, providing enhanced shot accuracy and power while ensuring precise ball control across the entire paddle face. GX2 excels at minimizing off-center misfires, it allows every part of the paddle to work together seamlessly, maximizing performance and efficiency on every shot.

ProFormance Unibody™

Unified Handle Integration

Feature: A one-piece design that seamlessly integrates the handle, surface plies, and core, ensuring optimized power transfer and a smooth, ready-to-play break-in experience.

Benefit: This design maximizes power transfer from your hand to the ball delivering effortless force for powerful shots and precise shot shaping. With enhanced spin control and a seamless feel, it excels in speed ups, resets, dinks, and drops, giving players the finesse and accuracy needed for every shot. 

Edge Guard

Traditional Look / CarbonRibCore™

Feature: Durable and timeless, this edge guard finishes the paddle with high-performance materials, adding longevity, improving perimeter weight distribution, and reducing vibration for a smoother, more stable feel. 

Benefit: The GX2 is perfect for players who appreciate the classic edge guard design, paired with enhanced power and a larger sweet spot. It offers a plush, controlled feel with every shot, all while providing unmatched durability for long-lasting performance.
